Daniel Kraft Invents a better Way to Harvest Bone Marrow
Children who have leukemia are in need of bone marrow stem cells. People would willingly donate, however it is a very painful process in which includes 200 holes being placed into the bone marrow of the hip. With Kraft seeing the problems that this has, for he is a doctor, he invented a new tool that allows you to only insert the hip bone once, and a bendable catheter is inserted and scrapes up a massive amount of bone marrow. This single insertion actually is able to get a lot more active bone marrow than the old fashioned way.
