Abstract:
Microsystems are devices that incorporate a combination of microfluidic, micromechanical, microoptical and microelectronic components. This article is part of a series that is assessing the impact the technology is likely to have on medical products during the next 10 years. The implanted devices discussed here include heart pacemakers, stents, and devices for the restoration of bladder function and limb movement for paraplegics. The next article will cover cochlear implants, retinal implants and stimulation of the optical cortex.
