    A soft, bioresorbable, implantable device developed by researchers at Pusan National University that provides a focused, reversible, and precise cooling effect to block pain signals from peripheral nerves


    Because of their high efficiency, opioids are widely used in the treatment of neuropathic pain, although the proportion of opioid addiction and deaths due to overdose is rising


    It is well known that low temperatures numb


    To this end, a research team led by Professor Min-Ho Seo of Busan National University has developed a soft, bioresorbable, implantable device that has the potential to cool peripheral nerves


    To develop the device, the team designed a microfluidic system consisting of the bioabsorbable material polyoctane glycol citrate, connected to a serpentine cavity


    Next, the team tested the device by implanting it into a model of a sciatic nerve in living rats with nerve damage


    The device is made of a bioabsorbable material, soaked in a phosphate-buffered saline solution at 75 °C, dissolved in 20 days and eliminated


    As this progress progresses, patients with neuropathic pain will eventually be able to receive safe and sustainable treatment without the risk of adverse reactions associated with opioid use!
