A researcher at the University of Virginia wants to make leeches obsolete.
Leeches have been used medicinally for nearly three thousand years and Patrick Cottler thinks that is long enough.


He has invented a mechanical device that serves the same purpose as the living blood suckers.
The two inch square device is a series of hypodermic needles attached to a tiny vacuum pumping system.
Cottler plans to market his mechanical leech, possibly under the name ``Smart Bandage.'' He's staying away from the word ``leech,'' figuring it wouldn't help business.

But Kansas State led 21-14 after two quarters and outscores the Volunteers 14 to 7 in the second half to win the Cotton Bowl 35-21.
