Pocket magnet movement system corrects chest deformities in children
Release date: 2007-03-12 A groundbreaking medical innovation has emerged to help children with chest deformities, such as barrel chests. Developed by the Children's Hospital at San Francisco University in California, this new system is called the 3MP (Pocket Magnet Movement System). Unlike traditional orthoses, which are often bulky and uncomfortable, the 3MP offers a more discreet and effective solution. The 3MP consists of two key components. One is a small magnet encased in a thin layer of titanium, which is surgically implanted into the child’s sternum during an outpatient procedure. The second magnet is embedded in a lightweight plastic strap that can be worn like a belt under regular clothing. This design allows for easy daily use without drawing attention. The two magnets work together using magnetic attraction to gently pull and reposition the chest wall. This external force helps guide the bones into a more natural shape over time. Because the internal magnet is placed just beneath the skin, the child can return home the same day as the surgery with minimal discomfort or recovery time. Depending on the severity of the chest deformity, treatment with the 3MP typically lasts between 3 to 12 months. This non-invasive, long-term approach offers a promising alternative to more traditional surgical interventions, providing both comfort and effectiveness for young patients. — Information from: Kexun Counter Uav Radars,Counter Uav,Drone Jammer Radar,Drone Detection Radar Hope Wish Photoelectronic Technology Co., Ltd , https://www.irhpws.com
