A sensor patch that measures biomarkers on the skin in real time. A nanocoating on an implant that keeps bacteria at bay before they can attach. A microfluidic chip that performs a complete laboratory analysis but has a footprint of the size of a credit card. Examples like these show that even small things can often be of great benefit to diagnostics and therapy.
Micro- and nanotechnology enable components and coatings that are barely visible to the naked eye but have an enormous impact. Microsensors, lab-on-a-chip systems, and nanostructured surfaces speed up diagnoses, make treatments more precise, and increase patient safety.
Miniaturized systems are also less burdensome for patients and impose fewer restrictions on their daily lives.
At COMPAMED, you can discover the innovations driving this field forward: from miniaturized sensors and smart implant surfaces to new microfabrication processes.
