Chapter 183 Give Birth to Medical Catheters? There Is Still a Long Way to Go
Grete is very satisfied with the direction of his research.
In medicine, there are too many places where various tubes are used. Those that go from above include nasogastric tubes, gastric tubes, endotracheal intubations, gastroscopes, and bronchoscopes; those that go from below include urethral catheters, anal canals, gastroscopes, and enteroscopes; those that are inserted into wounds, such as those placed during the healing of various wounds Drainage tubes, such as drainage tubes after thoracotomy and abdominal puncture...
Another example is infusion catheters, hemodialysis catheters, angiography catheters, catheters for interventional therapy...
In the past, Grete didn't have silicone, latex, or medical plastic, so it couldn't make various tubes. Now that he has mastered the skill of promoting plant growth, he can even rub it with his own hands!
In my mind, a large area of the "available" part of the healing skill tree lit up...
Although he is still not good at infusions, mainly because he cannot produce liquids that are pure enough and guaranteed to be sterile, but when the patient is suffocated and needs a tracheal intubation, or is unconscious and cannot eat, he needs a nasogastric tube. It’s no longer difficult for him!
Gretel's eyes were bright and full of excitement, and he smiled happily at Elder Wood. Elder Wood looked at him confused:
"...What on earth did you give birth to?"
He looked down at the vine again. If Gretel only produced a hollow tube, he wouldn't be so surprised, after all, he had given birth twice before. One time it was inserted into the stomach, and the other time it was simply inserted into the intestines, they both played a role that cannot be ignored, and the second time the effect was particularly immediate. The question is, what is this in Grete’s hand?
The overall thickness is uniform, and the diameter is about half the size of a small fingernail. The end held in the hand is bifurcated, and the two ends after the bifurcation are extremely swollen, almost as long and thick as the little finger.
A round ball swelled out near the end of the other end. Moving forward, the top did not open, but instead closed into a round drop shape. On the contrary, there are two symmetrical holes near the end about the length of a fingernail. They are long and rice-shaped, and you can see from one side to the other without any difficulty.
Elder Wood thought about it, but he couldn't figure out what it was. Looking at Grete again, he has raised the tube in his hand to his mouth, pinched the end of one branch of the "Y" shape, and blew hard into the other branch...
After blowing and blowing, the slightly deflated ball gradually expanded, and then exploded with a "pop" sound...
Exploded...
"How old are you for blowing up balloons?"
Elder Wood shook his head.
Gretel lowered his arms in annoyance and pursed his lips.
He initially wanted to make the simplest ordinary single-lumen urinary catheter. As he was doing it, he decided to challenge his control and made a double-lumen single-balloon urinary catheter.
Looking at it now, it was finally done, but the air bag was not strong enough and it exploded before being inflated much...
This is not possible! The material was not strong enough. If it exploded during clinical application, he would not dare to think about the troubles that would follow.
Grete touched the vine in his hand again. The fingertips feel prickly and not smooth enough at all. Not to mention not as good as silicone rubber and natural latex, it can't even keep up with the most basic PVC pipes. I can't use this thing, the foreign body feeling is too strong...
"Elder, why did this vine grow...is it hairy on the outside?"
"The poles that grow from the grass seeds you used are already hairy!"
Elder Wood looked at him speechlessly. How did this child learn common sense? Knowing plants, observing animals, and understanding nature are all basic lessons. Servers of the God of Nature are already familiar with them before becoming a priest's apprentice. Why haven’t you started yet when you’ve reached the level 2 priest?
Can’t you tell what kind of grass seeds they are?
"Then...what if I want it to be smoother?"
"Change seeds!"
Elder Wood took Gretel to the back room and stood in front of a large cabinet. The design idea of the cabinet is exactly the same as the product cabinet in the magic materials store - that is to say, it is exactly the same as the medicine cabinet in the Chinese medicine store. Elder Wood casually opened a drawer, and when Gretel stretched his head to take a look, he felt dizzy.
The drawers, which are seven to eight inches wide, three to four inches high, and more than a foot deep, are divided into three compartments in the drugstore, but Elder Wood has about ten compartments here. There are plant seeds lying in every cell. If you glance over, there is nothing the same...
There are seven or eight pieces scattered here and there, and some are piled up to the point where they are about to pop up in the grid;
There are those the size of a pinhead that can fly when you blow a breath, there are the ones the size of a soybean, or even the size of a thumb;
Some have smooth surfaces, some have pitted surfaces, and some have fluff or even pods;
Some are dark black, some are black and white, and some are colorful and green...
Worse, there are no labels.
Not a scrap of paper.
"Elder..." Grete's face turned pale. He opened a drawer, but he didn't recognize it; he opened another drawer, but he still didn't recognize it; at least there was something he recognized in the third drawer, it should be an acorn, which has a strong presence in the animated movie "Ice Age"; the fourth drawer There is a drawer, and I don’t recognize anything...
I am a clinical major in medicine! I’m not a major in agricultural botany!
Such a big cabinet has 56 drawers spread across the board. It is conservatively estimated to have hundreds of compartments, each compartment contains a type of seed...
"Elder...these seeds...which one is which? Why aren't they even named?"
"No need to stick it! You can ask it yourself! Only if you can communicate with it can you use it. If you can't communicate with it, it's useless if you take it!"
Grete: "..." Can't communicate...
If you can't communicate, just give it a try. Grete looked at Elder Wood longingly, and Elder Wood gestured to him, indicating "take it as you please." Just take it? At present, it has been spawned once, and the consumption is about the same as a second-level spell. If you try it five times a day, it will take about... a hundred days, and you are done trying it?
One hundred days is one hundred days! Gretel suddenly became proud. He asked the barbarian to drag him over to the backpack, and without any courtesy, he took ten pills from this compartment and eight pills from that compartment. There are more seeds in this grid, grab a lot...
"You just use this bag to carry things?"
The old magician suddenly walked in. He glanced at the backpack in Gretel's hand, and his face was full of words: it was half a man tall, made of leather and coarse cloth, and attached to a thick belt underneath. Because it is often placed on the ground, it looks a little dirty. In short, ordinary adventurers, warriors, and rangers can still see this kind of thing on their backs, but mages can still see it when they carry...
It really ruins the image.
"Well, I usually don't carry this thing on my back..." This backpack was designed by Grete himself, imitating the structure of a mountaineering bag. When traveling for short distances, the barbarian carries it. When traveling for long distances, the barbarian needs to carry a big bag, and he can carry it himself:
"I usually use this fanny pack..."
"How much can such a small pocket carry?" Master Tolga raised his eyebrows again. Without waiting for Grete to protest, he waved his sleeves and lightly threw a small cloth bag over:
"Dimensional bag. It's given to you."
New collections have dropped off a cliff in the past few days, and I can’t understand the data... What happened?
Routinely asking for subscriptions... asking for monthly tickets, asking for recommendation votes, asking for book reviews...
