Experimental Drainage Device to Reduce Lymphoedema in a Rat Model
Experimental Drainage Device to Reduce Lymphoedema in a Rat Model is a scholarly work by Marie-Catherine Vozenin, Nikolaos Stergiopulos, and Melody Swartz, published in 2018 in ''European Journal of Vascular and Endovascular Surgery''. The main subjects of the publication include implant, medicine, hyperhidrosis, lymphangiogenesis, surgery, biomedical engineering, lymph, bariatric surgery, hind limb, lymphatic system, and lymphedema. Lymphoedema volume in the rat model was significantly reduced by restoring continuous drainage of excess fluid using a novel subcutaneously implanted device, opening the way to the development of an artificial lymphatic vessel.
