Germ Killing Robot Could Help Fight Diseases
- A new robot has been created that can fight off deadly viruses, like Ebola, in hospitals and health care facilities.
- The robot is a little over five feet tall and is nicknamed "Saul".
- Saul uses pulses of high-intensity, high-energy ultraviolet rays to split open bacterial cell walls and kill dangerous pathogens.
- Surgical teams in U.S. Air Force Hospitals were recently trained on how to use the robot.
- Hospitals that have used this have been able to bring infection rates down by 60 percent.
- The robot is 99.9 percent effective and can completely kill a virus within five minutes.
