Use Of Plane Technology To Create New Heart
London (AP):
French scientists have switched to the new technology from aero planes and satellites to formulate artificial heart.
This new heart has been, till now tested in animals if it works properly in humans it will save many lives. This newly invented device was revealed in Paris at a press conference.
The Chief Operating Officer of Carmat, Patrick Coulombier who is the manufacturer of the heart and a subsidiary of the European Aeronautics Defence and Space agency, who is also the maker of Airbus plane, said that the principle is same as the principle used in aero plane.
According to Couolombier the tiny sensors present in the aero planes or satellites that measure the air pressure and altitude are present in this artificial heart. This will help to detect the pumping speed of the heart and its pressure on the walls of the heart.
This will help the device to react immediately to the patient’s requirement of the blood. This artificial heart will cost about 150,000 Euros which is 192,140 USD.
The hearts which were previously made did not have the ability to vary their speed of pumping and were twisted or pinched externally. This new artificial French heart is like that of the realistic one which have two pumps which helps in sending the blood in the lungs and also to the different parts of the body. The artificial hearts made in the past had only one pump.
