An implantable soft robotic ventilator augments inspiration in a pig model of respiratory insufficiency - Nature Biomedical Engineering

A contractile soft robotic actuator implanted above the diaphragm in pigs with respiratory insufficiency restores the animals’ respiratory performance.

The cover illustrates that a contractile soft robotic actuator implanted above the diaphragm can augment its respiratory performance (as indicated by the right half of the image).
