Tiny medical electronic wireless circuit helps patients heal their wounds

    According to foreign media reports, a new type of micro medical electronic circuit is implanted in the patient's wound to release bactericidal heat, thereby promoting rapid wound healing. This thermal therapy method can kill most drug-resistant bacteria. When the remote control device completes its task, the electronic heating part will automatically dissolve, and at the same time, its biocompatible material will become part of the body, helping the wound to heal.

    In addition to dissolving electronic components, scientists have also developed a biodegradable remote control and energy harvesting circuit. The relevant details were published in the magazine "Advanced Materials" published on May 17. At present, the device has been tested on mice.

    This biocompatible remote control circuit is an important part of building dissolvable electronic components and plays an important role in thermal therapy. It can then dissolve and disappear in the body. In addition, it can also stimulate nerve and bone growth, help wound healing, deliver drugs, or act as an antibiotic. "During

    different treatment processes, the device needs to be set up on a schedule to run." John Rogers, a mechanical engineer at the University of Illinois, said that in 2012, he also developed a water-soluble silicon circuit that can be completely dissolved in water. Earlier this year, he led a research team to design a micro LED lamp that can be injected into the human brain.
