According to him, scientists of Kharkiv Institute of Physics and Technology and military medics worked on the innovation.
“Magnets are designed for mobile hospitals which are now in the ATO area. With the help of magnets we successfully removed shell fragments from wounds of more than 600 fighters,” said the head of the surgery department of the hospital Vladimir Boroday.
According to him, the tool is easy in use: “We find a fragment of size from a few millimeters to 3 centimeters, make a small incision, put in the magnet – and take out from the wound foreign body. One-two stitches – and the operation is finished.”
