ABSTRACT

Nowadays, Biomedical Instruments are gaining more importance. They play a vital role in diagnosis and assist doctors to take immediate decisions on the mode of treatment appropriate for patients. In India, there are numerous diabetic patients suffering from unhealed wounds, because of continuous pus secretion. Currently, in hospitals the pus secreted from the wound of the diabetes patients are continuously collected, to leave the wound dry to heal. In this mode, the dressing of the wound is done periodically and it have to replace once it becomes wet. Due to continuous contact of dressing material the wound is always wet and it takes more time to heal. To overcome the above scenario, this device, “A Low cost Bio medical suctioner using Embedded Systems” is developed. This device creates vacuum over the surface of the wound and the suction pump will collect the pus from the wound in a disposable container. Due to this, the wound remains always dry and the process of healing is faster
