1.a trocar used in laparoscopic surgery which costs Rs.10000/- is one of the frequent cause of infections. dr.sardana designed a cheap (costs just 750/-) which could be thrown after a single use.
2. a device based on virtual reality glasses, a pre-prototype using a smartphone and off-the-shelf virtual reality glasses with imaging component that can enable it to take photos of retina, to test it on real patients of macular degeneration . it will become a low-cost device that can be used for screening in villages and small towns,.the only other test to detect AMD is a paper based test called Amsler grid which is not very accurate and picks up distortion only in 13 per cent of the cases of wet macular degeneration that is potentially blinding.
