Abstract: A method for labelling a portion of a device includes the steps of providing a first substrate layer of a transparent or translucent material, depositing a first coloured material onto the first substrate layer in a labelling portion of the layer, thereby obtaining a labelling item, and coupling the labelling item to the device. The method is particularly suitable for producing labelled stretchable devices such as soft body-implantable devices for sensing a physiological signal and/or stimulating an electrical and/or pharmacological activity of a body tissue or organ in a subject.

Abstract: The invention features a cuff device comprising a support having a first end, a second end and an elongated body in between; connection means for electrical, magnetic and/or fluidic magnetic connection with external devices; at least one of i) an electrode and/or electronic component operatively connected with said connection means configured to electrically interface with a biological tissue and ii) a channel having an inlet, an outlet and an elongated body in between operatively connected with said connection means via said inlet and configured to fluidically interface with a biological tissue via said outlet; and at least one buckle configured to receive said first end and permit the sliding therein of said elongated body so to close and lock the cuff electrode device at desired positions, characterized in that said support is stretchable.

Abstract: A crossflow microfluidic particle concentrator including a main channel having an inlet and an outlet a crossflow outlet operably connectable with pressure means and/or flow control means, a plurality of crossflow channels fluidically connecting the crossflow outlet with the main channel a filtering element including a particle flow channel within the main channel, and a row of crossflow pillars disposed between the filtering element and the plurality of crossflow channels.
