Resorbable Electronic Implant with WiFi Control
February 24, 2015 | Terry Sharrer
Here is a significant first-of-its-kind device: “We present the demonstration of in vivo operation of a subcutaneously implanted, resorbable electronic device. The remotely controlled device was wirelessly activated after implantation, successfully eliminating infection, and subsequently dissolving in the surrounding tissue. This approach is a first step for the development of a class of implantable, technological, biomedical devices that resorb harmlessly, eliminating the need for retrieval after use.” MORE
