For many cancer patients, the pain of a bone-marrow biopsy can add to the anguish of the diagnosis and treatment.
对很多癌症患者来说,骨髓活检的疼痛可能让诊断和治疗过程更加痛苦。
Vidacare Corp. aims to ease that pain with the OnControl Bone Marrow System. The Bronze winner of The Wall Street Journal's Technology Innovation Awards, and winner of the Medical-Devices category, the product allows doctors to more quickly and precisely take samples from inside the bone.
Vidacare Corp.致力于借助OnControl骨髓抽取系统减少患者的痛苦。该产品获得《华尔街日报》“科技创新奖的医疗设备类铜奖,可使医生更迅速、准确地抽取骨髓样本。
Biopsies of bone marrow, the spongy tissue and fluid that helps make red and white blood cells, are used to detect and monitor such conditions as leukemia and other cancers of the blood. Bone marrow also is extracted from healthy individuals to donate to patients who need transplants.
骨髓是一种呈液态的海绵状组织,可帮助制造红血球和白血球。骨髓活检一般被用作检测并监控白血病等血癌的情况。此外,还可从身体健康的人身上抽取骨髓,捐献给需要骨髓移植的病人。
But for decades, marrow has been extracted by doctors using strong force to manually insert a needle deep into the bone. Patients sometimes have to be stuck several times if the needle isn't properly inserted.
