Magnetic microparticles with tailorable sizes and shapes
Martin Bionics Socketless Socket The Socket-less Socket represents a paradigm shift in how a prosthetic limb attaches to a patient’s body. This NASA-inspired device incorporates light-weight, conforming materials and user adjustability to achieve enhanced patient comfort, heat dissipation to avoid skin irritation and breakdown, and real-time adaptation to changes in activity levels and volume. Patent pending SwingBrim technology perfectly conforms to the user just like a hammock, providing a soft floating cushioned seat on every step. Now 40% lighter than the original Socket-less Socket. The lightweight design and materials are only a fraction of what conventional sockets weigh, with a typical weight reduction of over 2 pounds. The Socketless Socket can be micro-adjusted for a comfortable fit every time the prosthesis is worn.
To tackle the global threat of cancer, Industrial Technology Research Institute (ITRI) developed the world’s only bionic, knobby, magnetic beads manufacturing technology iKNOBEADS. The unique knobby magnetic beads can strengthen and reactivate T-cells to fight cancer cells, as proven in tests done at National Taiwan University Hospital. Inspired by nature, iKNOBEADS are the world’s first micrometer-sized magnetic particles with tailorable knobby shapes. The uniformity of particle size provides batchto-batch reproducibility and the unique knobby shape creates a larger surface area for interaction. The magnetic property allows for the ease of separation and suitability for automation. All these advantages make it perfectly suited for ex vivo activation and expansion of human T cells.
