| Operating with more precision |
A patent developed by Narendra Dahotre, University Distinguished Research Professor in UNT's Department of Materials Science and Engineering, will allow orthopaedic surgeons to operate with new precision. The innovative work has been licensed by the Australian Institute of Robotic Orthopaedics, and the technology — laser-assisted machining of hard tissue and bones — is expected to minimize damage to surrounding tissue and bones, lessen the amount of blood patients lose during operations and speed up surgery and recovery times. |
