CNN Central News & Network–ITDC India Epress/ITDC News Bhopal: Under the guidance of Executive Director Ajay Singh, AIIMS Bhopal is consistently achieving significant milestones in medical research. Recently, Professor Sunita Athawale from the Department of Anatomy at AIIMS Bhopal was granted a patent for her innovative handheld electrically powered fascia dissection device.
This device is primarily designed for medical students and researchers studying preserved cadavers. When cadavers are preserved with chemicals, their tissues harden, making them difficult to cut and study. This device addresses this issue, enabling clearer observation of body organs and structures.
The device is equipped with a variable-speed motor, allowing users to adjust the speed as needed, facilitating the precise and effortless removal of fascia—a thin membrane covering muscles and organs. Additionally, it features an innovative prong system that provides a better grip for handling and removing tissues, enhancing the visibility of anatomical structures.
Its ergonomic design ensures comfort during prolonged use, reducing hand fatigue. The patent for this device marks a significant achievement in India’s medical education and research landscape.
Director Ajay Singh expressed pride in this accomplishment, stating, “This patent reflects AIIMS Bhopal’s commitment to innovation and excellence. The handheld electrically powered fascia dissection device is an advanced tool that offers a practical solution to long-standing challenges in anatomical dissection, benefiting both academic and medical fields.”
