To Russian Federation the low-invasive method of cleaning of urethral catheters is created: it will reduce risk of developments infections

Scientific ITMO together with colleagues from the Chelyabinsk state universities and the Southern federal universities offered low-invasive and safe approach for cleaning of urethral catheters. In its basis — magnetic soft robots which delete biofilms with bacteria almost with 100% efficiency. And it is possible to operate them remotely — with help a magnetic field. Use of soft robots will allow to prevent development infections and to avoid frequent painful procedure of change of catheters. Results of research are published in Nauchny zhurnal ACS Nano.
