- description: New cardiac device invented Scientists have created an external membrane using a 3-D printer which they say can keep a heart beating virtually forever. Membrane that can keep your heart pumping forever and possibly prevent heart attacks The membrane has been proven to work on a rabbit heart Researchers say it should be available for humans in the next 10-15 years Scientists have created an external membrane using a 3-D printer than can keep a heart beating virtually forever. The thin membrane is elastic, designed to stretch over a heart like a glove, and is outfitted with tiny electrodes that monitor cardiac function -- it was first demonstrated as a proof of concept on a rabbit heart. Researchers at both the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign and Washington University published the astonishing breakthrough in Nature, and hope it will someday help prevent heart attacks in humans.
