Pakistani student invents painless needle
Pakistani student wins Global Pediatric Research Investigator Award for making painless needles.
Mir Ibrahim Sajid, a 21-year-old student at a private medical university, was given the award by the international science journal Nature.
In a blog for Nature, Mir Ibrahim described his invention as “his father is a doctor and that is why he has spent a lot of time with his father in hospitals where he has seen children scared of needles.” But he decided to find a solution to trypanophobia.
Mir Ibrahim’s invention has passed all laboratory tests and is now awaiting the results of its clinical trials.
