“They got the crumbs out of my heart”

From your pocket, serhiy Melnyk, removes a neat rusty shard on small paper.

Holds it. “It grazes my kidney, piercing my lung and my heart,” says the Ukrainian serviceman quietly.

The traces of dried blood are visible from a Russian drone of a Russian drone located in the heart of Ukraine.

“I didn’t understand what was first – I thought I was breathing under my body armor,” he says. “They had to get crumbs out of my heart.”

With the rise of the Drone War in Ukraine, these injuries are more common. Drones often carry weapons and materials that cause fragments and more complex scrap wounds.

According to Ukrainian military mediket, the cheating wounds now make up 80% of the battlefield.

The injuries of the serhiyin would be fatal.

“The fragment was as sharp as a knife. Doctors said I was a big part of this and I was lucky to have survived.”

However, it was not a chance to save him, it was a new piece of medical technology. A magnetic extractor.

Cardiovascular Surgeon Serhiy Maxymenko, before deleting a thinly magnetized device, Serhiy’s beat shows the footage of metal fragment.

“The heart does not need to make big cuts,” said Dr. Masymenko. “I’m just a small incision, enter the magnet and bring out scraps.”

In total, the doctor Maxymenko’s team made more than 70 successful heart surgery with a device that changed the face of frontage in Ukraine.

The development of these extractors, stressed the urgent need for a safe, fast, minimally invasive path to delete front-line medics and shrugs.

Oleh Bykov – he worked as a lawyer – this was developed. Since 2014, he voluntarily supports the army. Magnetic extractors were created on the front line and conversations.

The concept is not new. In the 1850s, the Magnets were used to eliminate metal metal from metal from metal to the Crimean War. However, Oleh’s team modernized the approach, flexible models for abdominal operation, creates flexible models for micro extractors for high-powered vehicles for elegant works and bones.

Operations became more accurate and less invasive. Can work along the surface of a wound to remove magnetic pieces. Surgeons then make a small cut and the fabric is removed.

Olek, who holds a vehicle in the form of fine pencil, demonstrates the power by lifting a Sledgehammer with a magnetic tip.

His work was another war, including David Nott, including David Nott and the veteran of war zones around the world.

“In war, things are developing in civilian life are developed,” he says.

Due to the changing war of the changing war, fragmentation increased and because they believed that this device can be a change change.

The patients are like “looking for a needle in a hay grass” looking for the slower – not always successful and does not delay the treatment of other losses.

The pieces can be dangerous to search manually and require larger cuts that can cause more bleeding – “Simply to use a magnet to use simply to use a magnet.”

Like Andriy Albasi, who said the area came to trust in the device, was spread throughout the Ukraine, which is 3,000 units as hospitals and frontal medicas.

He often works in clinics in trenches or outdoor clinics, sometimes without local anesthesia.

“My work is to save his life – the bandage wounds and soldiers are evacuated,” he says.

There was no official certificate of magnetic extract.

The Ministry of Health of the Ministry of Health must fully comply with the technical regulations of medical facilities. However, in exceptional cases such as combat law or emergency, the use of uncertain devices is allowed to meet the needs of military and security forces.

At the height of war, there is no time for the red ribbon, Mastermind Eleh explains. “These devices are saving their lives. If someone thinks that my actions are a crime, all doctors who use these devices should also be arrested.”

David NottO, certification still believes that this certificate is not the most priority and the device will be useful in other war zones such as Gaza.

“In the war, it doesn’t really need it. You only do things that are important to save your life.”

Lviv, Serhiy’s wife Yulia’nın just survived her husband, who was thankful.

“I just want to praise people who invent this extreme,” he said. “Thank them, my husband is alive.”
