🔎 #Ultrasound activates small cilia on the surfaces of urinary #stents and #catheters and thereby creates a streaming, that efficiently removes biofilm and encrustations from the surface.
☝️ This revolutionary technology was developed by an interdisciplinary research team from #unibern, Inselspital and @ethzurich.bsky.social : https://mediarelations.unibe.ch/media_releases/2025/media_releases_2025/ultrasound_and_cilia_to_clean_implanted_stents_and_catheters/index_eng.html
Ultrasound and cilia to clean implanted stents and catheters

Researchers from the University of Bern, Inselspital, Bern University Hospital, and ETH Zurich have developed an innovative technology which can clean implanted medical devices such as ureteral stents and catheters non-invasively, using ultrasound activation through the skin. This could significantly improve the quality of life of patients and at the same time reduce the financial burden on the healthcare system.

CalTech bioengineers have now employed artificial intelligence-powered design tools to create a urinary catheter that prevents the inward bacterial flow. #urinary #catheters #bacteria #antibiotics #ai #bioengineering #caltech

I'm not sure catheters are for me.
It feels like you constantly need to pee.
There's no feeling of flow.
It's all of the bad bits and none of the good bits.
