MEMS for biomedical applications Bestseller-Rang: #1
https://edubooks.site/?book=0857091298
The application of Micro Electro Mechanical Systems (MEMS) in the biomedical field is leading to a new generation of medical devices. This guidebook is meant to provide the fundamental concepts and applications in developing diverse biomedical devices. The first section introduces the basics of MEMS technology with a focus on polymers, since polymers are extensively used in biomedical microdevices. In the second segment, chapters offer examples of biomedical applications of MEMS and are focused on diagnostic applications and means to achieve high-throughput, point-of-care microsystems. The final two groups present clinical applications that have been accomplished using microdevices machined using MEMS technology, such as tissue engineering, drug delivery and surgical tools and the emerging applications of MEMS in the biomedical field. While still nascent, these show slow promise in improving the state-of-the-art in the field through the use of miniaturized systems based on MEMS technology.
