Faculty of Engineering and Natural Sciences members Ali Koşar and Devrim Gözüaçık developed the SUTAB – a variation on the water gun that will enable affordable, completely harmless treatment of cancers, tumors, enlarged prostates and kidney stones. The SUTAB project was widely covered in the Hürriyet daily.
The SUTAB project led by faculty members Ali Koşar and Devrim Gözüaçık utilizes the micro-cavitation technique, or the abrasive power of water bubbles caused by boiling, to eliminate kidney stones, prostrate, cancer and tumors without harming the patient.
SUTAB will be the first device of its kind to be manufactured in Turkey and will be a breakthrough in healthcare. With SUTAB, patients will have access to affordable and completely harmless treatment of cancer, tumors, prostate and kidney stones for the first time in Turkey.
The project team collaborated with Professors Mustafa Ünel and Asıf Sabanovic from Sabancı University, Professor Sinan Ekici from Maltepe University and Professor Hüseyin Üvet from Yıldız Technical University for prototype development.
The Hürriyet coverage of the project (in Turkish) is available here.
