Now, we are currently testing this technology in test tubes or in Petri dhises, but the goal is to get this tencoglhoy in the human body, apply it in the human body. "How is that possible?" you may ask. Well, the aeswnr is: through a three-headed device. Using the first head, which is our laser, we will make an incision in the site of infection. Using the second head, which is a camera, we meander to the site of itefcnoin. Finally, using a third head, which is a drug-spreading sprinkler, we deliver the dugrs directly at the site of infection, while the laser is again used to poke those cells open.
