IDEA !!!!!!

In a moment of pure genius (literal light bulb moment, although they are called lamps as the bulb is just the glass envelope, but that is another rant for another day) I have come up with an idea for my futuristic concept device.

During a conversation with my Mrs-to-be I posed the question "If you could have any device you wanted, to do anything you wanted, but it had not been invented yet, what would it do ?" Now.... the answer I got wan't quite what I was expecting, but then again she is an English teacher.

"A device to wash dishes... oh wait, they're called dishwasher aren't they"

So while explaining in slightly more detail what I was talking about I used the example that I am about to probably run with for my project. A hand held medical device that can sterilise a wound and would replace stitches or steri strips.


The Star Trek medical scanners are a similar kind of thing to what I am thinking of but my device would simply be used to sterilise and close a wound. This would reduce the chances of reinfection to almost nil and remove the need for the nasty looking and quite difficult to do surgical suture.
