While the country is still recovering from the internal conflict that plagued it for over three decades, the shadows of these dark days still haunt these lands. The Sri Lankan soil is still not completely rid of antipersonnel landmines which were once weaponized against military and civilians alike. A more recent terrorist attack that happened in 2019 rekindled this age-old fear against explosions in the hearts of Sri Lankans. While prevention of such disasters is important, realistically, it is the duty of engineering researchers to equip medical professionals with devices that can aid and expedite the treatments if and when such unfortunate disasters occur.
