Novel microdevices for controlled blood and skin extraction

目前的血液取样装置仅在皮肤中产生穿刺，但没有能力收集血液，而目前的组织活检不能够在不需要局部麻醉或缝合的情况下在患者中重复取样。需要临床上可行的装置，通过促进早期发现，特别是在医疗资源有限的农村/偏远地区，在皮肤癌和传染病领域实施预防战略。

Current blood sampling devices only create a puncture in the skin but have no capacity to collect blood while current tissue biopsies are not capable of repeated sampling in patients without the need for local anaesthesia or sutures. There is a need for clinically feasible devices to enable preventive strategies in the area of skin cancer and communicable diseases through facilitation of early detection, particularly in rural/remote areas where medical resources are limited.
