The National Cancer Institute (NCI) and the Faculty of Medicine, Siriraj Hospital have introduced an advanced vascular connection device to improve surgical outcomes for cancer patients.
The collaboration brings the anastomotic coupler, an automated device used to connect small blood vessels measuring about 1-4 millimetres in diameter, into clinical practice.
The technology allows surgeons to join blood vessels without using needles or sutures, offering greater precision while reducing the complexity and duration of microsurgical procedures.
