  • DEVICE AND METHOD FOR CONTROLLED DELIVERY OF CHEMICAL SUBSTANCES
    Publication number: 20100016957
    Abstract: A medical device for introduction into a body comprises a body-insertable part (1, 3, 7, 10, 20, 30, 35, 40, 60, 70, 80) having a first electroactive polymer (13), integrated with the body-insertable part and comprising an electrically controllably releasable first substance. There is further disclosed a method for delivering a chemically active substance into a body.

  • Micro tools
    Patent number: 7331969
    Abstract: Tool arrays for biomedical surgery where the tools consist of layered polymer micromuscles arranged to induce geometrical changes and movements via an electrochemically induced change of volume in at least one polymer layer. The tool or tool arrays are mounted on a carrier having the form of a needle being inserted into a cannula/catheter through which the tools can be electrically actuated via external means to induce a mechanical movement to act upon biological structures.

  • TOOLS AND METHODS FOR BIOMEDICAL SURGERY
    Publication number: 20060287644
    Abstract: A tool for biomedical surgery comprises an elongate tube-like structure which is insertable into a body lumen, a surgical tool, arranged on the elongate tube-like structure, and a layered polymer microactuator, arranged in or on the elongate tube-like structure, for inducing geometrical changes or movements to the surgical tool via an electrochemically induced change of volume of the layered polymer microactuator. The layered polymer microactuator is arranged for external electrical actuation.
