Issue Date: Dec 15, 1998
A novel polymer
coating, the echocoat polymer, could
make heart
operations Wer by
helping doctors
keep track of
medical devices
used in heart
surgery. The plastic
works by reflecting
ultrasound
scans, enabling
surgeons to see
devices such as
pacemakers more
clearly. The device
would allow
doctors to perform
more accurate
surgeries.
Researchers from the
cardiology
department of the
Cleveland Clinic,
USA, tested
the coating, made by
a US firm, STS
Biopolymer.
