Magnetic extractor saves Ukrainian soldiers' lives

A pen-sized magnetic extractor is saving Ukrainian soldiers' lives by quickly removing shrapnel from battlefield injuries, with doctors reporting improved survival rates. The device, developed by a former lawyer, allows for minimally invasive removal of metal fragments, reducing the need for complex surgeries and minimizing blood loss in a war zone where speed is critical. It is now standard in frontline medical kits, despite lacking formal health authority certification. This innovative tool, inspired by the need for faster solutions in the ongoing conflict, has been praised by medical professionals and is credited with bringing soldiers home, highlighting the impact of practical inventions in wartime.
