An implant can be considered any foreign material or device located within or attached to the body of a patient.Active implants, also commonly referred to asActive Implantable Medical Devices (AIMDs), are defined to be those requiring external power to operate (excluding energy generated by gravit...
Nanoparticles are relatively new in the medical market and sector, and it is known that material in the nano scale usually has different properties compared with bulk scale, making it difficult to predict hazards of such small particles. The currently approved nanoparticle systems have in some ...
Active middle ear implants (AMEIs) are medical devices intended to treat hearing loss by stimulation of the middle and inner ear structures. This study investigated the use of the Vibrant Soundbridge (VSB) (MED-EL Austria), the world’s, up to now, most utilized AMEI. With more than 25 ...
The second part discusses common types of materials that are known to generate electrical activity and lays the foundation for these materials for use in medical devices. The third part gives examples of where electrically active materials have been examined for device application. The final part ...
Neural prostheses can restore cognitive, sensory, and motor functions. They stimulate the nervous system through electrical impulses and thus count as active implantable medical devices (AIMDs) [1,2]. The most prominent example of an AIMD is the cochlear implant (CI), which has been implanted ...
