M-HEAL Press

The University of Michigan Biomedical Engineering Department is pleased to recognize the continued appearance of Michigan Health Engineered for All Lives' (M-HEAL) most recent accomplishments and publications. The M-HEAL Lamp Team has recently finished a prototype surgical lamp that is currently being tested in Uganda. The lamp is a low cost, easy to produce, battery-operated, alternative to more traditional surgical lamps. The device is well suited to be used in parts of the world where electricity is sporadic and blackouts during surgery can be disastrous. For more information see the U-M News Services article, the feature in Good Magazine, and link to a video describing the device and its function.
