A probe insertion device for a neural probe structure with a plurality of probes to simultaneously insert the plurality of probes into a nerve includes a nerve holder to fix the nerve surrounding an outer circumference of the nerve, and a probe holder positioned outside in a radial direction of the nerve holder to fixedly support the probes surrounding a circumference of the nerve holder. The probe holder includes a plurality of sections ('probe holder sections') arranged radially with respect to the nerve holder and moveable in a radial direction of the nerve holder, and the plurality of probe holder sections simultaneously moves the plurality of probes toward the nerve holder having fixed the nerve, so that the plurality of probes is simultaneously inserted into the nerve in a radial shape when viewed in a lengthwise direction of the nerve.

Device for inserting neural probes

A tear collection device comprises: a body attached to an eyeball; a tear inlet for allowing tear to flow into the body; a storing space formed inside the body and capable of storing the tears having flowed into the body; and a pump forming a pressure difference inside the body such that tears flow into the body through the tear inlet, wherein the pump is driven by using, as power, eye blinking movements of a wearer so as to form the pressure difference inside the body, thereby allowing the tears to flow into the body.

Tear collection device

A contact lens for collecting tear or delivering a drug includes an inner lens placed on an eyeball, an outer lens provided at an outer side of the inner lens to overlap the inner lens, and a plurality of pillars disposed between the inner lens and the outer lens to form a space between the inner lens and the outer lens, wherein the contact lens has a plurality of interfacing ports for connecting a chamber with an outside of the contact lens.
