Needle-Free Shock Syringe Developed by IIT Bombay + Banking_SBI_Clerk?.ToString()?? Banking_SBI_Clerk?.ToString()+" Current Affairs";

Innovation: Researchers at IIT Bombay have developed a needle-free “shock syringe” that uses high-energy pressure waves (shock waves) instead of needles to deliver drugs painlessly.
Mechanism:
Utilizes shockwaves traveling faster than sound to create a microjet of liquid drugs.
The device, slightly longer than a ballpoint pen, has a micro shock tube with three sections: driver, driven, and drug holder.
Pressurized nitrogen gas generates the microjet, which penetrates the skin gently and rapidly.
Key Benefits:
Pain-Free Delivery: Patients do not feel the injection.
Safe and Precise: Monitored pressure minimizes tissue damage.
Cost-Effective: Capable of over 1,000 shots, with only the nozzle needing replacement.
Prevents Needle Injuries: Reduces risks of blood-borne diseases due to mishandling of needles.
Improves Immunization Drives: Especially useful for children and large-scale vaccination programs.
Significance: This innovation could revolutionize healthcare by enhancing patient comfort, safety, and efficiency in drug delivery.
