Jawaharlal Institute of Postgraduate Medical Education and Research in Puducherry has developed it.
Help reduce stroke-related deaths
Professor and Head of Department of Neurology, JIPMER Dr. According to Sunil Narayan, this device can remove clots even 7 to 8 hours after a stroke. It is inserted through a catheter into the veins of the stroke patient’s brain, which captures and removes the clot and destroys it. This technology will help remove clots in stroke patients and reduce stroke-related deaths.
Treatment of patients suffering from stroke
Dr. According to Sunil, the cost of this device can be 50 to 70 percent less than the devices imported from abroad. If this happens, people hope to get cheaper treatment facilities. Currently, clinical trials have been successful and approval has also been obtained. If it is manufactured in India in future, patients suffering from brain stroke will get timely and effective treatment. The sooner the lump is removed, the better the patient will be.
The device will prove to be more effective
Till now foreign devices were used in India to remove lumps, which are very expensive. However, this technology can make India self-sufficient in stroke treatment. If this device is used on a large scale in hospitals in the future, it will provide more benefits at a lower cost. Medicines can work to remove clots within three to four hours of a stroke, so this device will be more effective.
Every four minutes, a person suffers a stroke, 60% of patients do not go to the hospital in time, only 5% of patients receive treatment for clots in time, lack of awareness of symptoms is a major problem.
