when an intelligent artificial lung will be available
SCIENTISTS are developing the world’s first intelligent artificial lung which could help patients suffering from life-threatening diseases.
The device, which is just two years away from starting clinical trials, will be able to breathe for people who have lost most of their lung function.
Swansea University, which is collaborating with Haemair Ltd to develop the artificial lung, has been awarded a Welsh Government grant to undertake further vital work on the project.
The device is the brainchild of biochemical engineer Professor Bill Johns, managing director of Haemair, which is based in Swansea.

Welsh Government to fund work on intelligent artificial lung - Wales News - News from @walesonline
were are the US medical companies in developing a functional lung ?
ReplyDeleteI am hoping to see this new replacement lung.
ReplyDeleteclinical trials in two years ?
ReplyDeleteTwo years... must mean the animal trials have been very positive. This is amazing stuff.
ReplyDeleteanimal trials... animal trials...
ReplyDeleteThey must be doing them for free nowadays, the Welsh grant was only for £200k. It costs a lot more than that for a independent experimental program.
Has anyone actually seen this medical marvel ?
Let’s get some perspective, this is a small medical based company trying it’s best to make ends meet. They are most likely years away from a real product and are riding current press on the artificial heart hoping for some investment.
