This report on work currently underway on innovative implants describes the progress being made with wireless communication and the lessons learned after one year of development of an artificial sphincter and an intracranial pressure sensor.
The development of a three-axis accelerometer that can simultaneously measure acceleration in all three directions is to be utilised in a range of emerging applications.
The market for electronically driven implantable devices is set to expand significantly. This article examines the current potential and some of the products under development.
This paper describes the current situation concerning medical implants and suggests why the number of available devices is so limited. It then goes on to describe how a consortium was established from an EU network focussing specifically on Medical Devices. This consortium was successful in obtaining EU funding for the development of a range of medical implants that will help patients with specific disabilities relating to the nervous system, including deafness, blindness, lack of limb motion and urinary incontinence.
