    Soft robot helps the heart

    Published on Jan 18, 2017

    Scientists developed a soft robotic sleeve which supports heart function. Tests done in pig hearts show that the device restores acutely failing hearts to 97 percent of their original cardiac output. More research is needed before the sleeve can be implanted in humans
