What Type Of Magnet Is Used in Medical Equipment?

    For a long time, magnets have been a key component of many different medical technologies, with the most famous being magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) technology, which was first developed in the 1970s and 1980s. In addition, magnets can also be found in many other medical devices, although their functions are rarely known.
    Magnets are used for magnetic switches, blood separators, hospital water filtration systems, laboratory tests, ventilators, Insulin pump, etc. The use of magnets in medicine can improve the level of patient care and greatly help medical personnel to carry out important life-saving work.
    On each floor of the hospital, magnets can be found to assist in patient care. In addition to supplying power to ventilators, permanent magnets are also used to power equipment such as heart pumps.
   Applying magnetic bearings to heart pumps improves pump reliability, prolongs its service life, and minimizes blood damage to the greatest extent possible.
    In the surgical rooms of hospitals, new technologies are being developed that utilize magnets to simplify and simplify surgical procedures, such as creating anastomoses. In magnetic compression anastomosis, special rare earth magnets are placed to compress a section of the tissue, forming a anastomosis. This experimental medical technology has created a very ideal alternative to the traditional method, that is, the use of hand sewing or Stapler. It has been found to be a faster way to complete the procedure and a happier patient's recovery. In general medical applications, magnets are also used for holding systems and many different pump and filtration systems.
    Magnets are also used in technology to improve people's daily lives under certain conditions. For deaf people who choose to use Cochlear implant, magnets are used to fix the head of the cochlea so as to effectively transmit sound to the inner cochlea. Magnets are also used in the dental field for applications such as assisted retention dentures. For those who use prosthetics, the magnetic prosthetic suspension system helps to maintain the position of the prosthetic limb while improving overall comfort and reducing the need for prosthetic maintenance.
    There are many ways in which magnets can be used in medical technology, and researchers are very interested in developing more ways to apply the power of magnets.
