RENT BY THE MONTH NO LONG LEASE REQUIRED 846-3733 Removing casts as easy as openinj sardines, say A&M bioengineers Bioengineers from Texas A&M University are making some medical problems less troublesome for chil dren. Their applications help patients at the Texas Scottish Rite Hospital for Crippled Children in Dallas, when medical expertise indicates the need. One of the bioengineers ideas probably ranks, in achievement, ahead of building the proverbial better mousetrap. It involves removing casts, nor mally done with a noisy electric saw that frightens children. Cast- removal saws have even been known to make adults blanch. The Texas A&M engineers came up with a cast-removing technique that’s as easy and unscary as opening a can of sardines. They place a braided wire on the cotton under layer next to the skin, over which the cast is constructed. The cast is marked whe tht ends of the wire are located. To re move the cast, the ends of the wire are uncovered and rolled on a spe cial wrech, much like the key on a sardine can. It causes the wire to cut through the cast. H oward Alexander and Keith Wauters, Texas A&M graduate stu dents in bioengineering, had high percentage success with the wire cast cutter, on long and short casts. They believe it will cut all but the thickest plaster casts. Saws will sill be required on fiberglass casts used by some physicians. Alexander, from Tyler, and Wau- ter, from San Antonio, worked for physicians, nurses, physical and oc cupational therapists at the Dallas hospital under a program funded by the King Foundation. Wauters and Alexander helped a 7-year-old girl who can’t use her legs. She was born with an opening in the spine which left her legs and lower body paralyzed. Breathing The Battalion Classifieds becomes difficult if she tries to sit up, so a wheelchair could not be adapted. She moved around, slowly and laboriously, by dragging her body along the floor with her arms. Now she can breeze through a room almost as fast as any normal youngster, on a small plastic cart moulded to her body. Another bioengineering device helps scoliosis patients. These pa tients must wear heavy braces — from beneath the chin to the hips — to hold the spine straight and keep curvature of the spine caused by the disease from becoming worse. Still in development, the device consists of a system of straps that go over the chest and hold a small metal rod in place over the spine. If a patient leans too far or slumps, bending stress on the rod triggers a small, soundless vibrator in the pa tient’s pocket that warns him to change his posture.
