Rapid Fabrication of Self‐Propelled and Steerable Magnetic Microcatheters for Precision Medicine

open access: yesAdvanced Materials, EarlyView.
A rapid Joule heating fabrication method for the production of self‐propelling, adaptive microcatheters, with tunable stiffness and integrated microfluidic channels is presented. Demonstrated through three microrobotic designs, including a steerable guiding catheter, an untethered wave‐crawling TubeBot, and a distal‐end propelled microcatheter, it was ...

Compact Planar Low‐Voltage Electroadhesion Pads for Reversible Tissue and Hydrogel Adhesion

open access: yesAdvanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
This work presents a planar, low‐voltage electroadhesion (LVEA) pad with reversible adhesion to tissues and anionic hydrogels at 10 V or less. On‐demand adhesion and release of a biological tissue using a single surface contact has been realized. Geometric design of the electroadhesion pad is investigated through experimental and computational methods ...

Laparoscopy in Blunt Abdominal Trauma: for Whom? When?and Why?

open access: yesCurrent Trauma Reports, 2017
The management of blunt abdominal trauma has evolved over time. While laparotomy is the standard of care in hemodynamically unstable patients, stable patients are usually treated by non-operative management (NOM), incorporating adjuncts such as ...

Flexible Thin‐Film Heater Composed of Laser‐Induced Graphene and Poly(D, L‐Lactic Acid) with Electro‐ and Photo‐Thermal Properties toward Cancer Thermotherapy

open access: yesAdvanced Electronic Materials, EarlyView.
This study introduces a thin‐film‐type heat‐generating device that uses laser induced graphene (LIG) on a poly(D, L‐lactic) acid film, which realizes both resistance heating by direct current application and photothermal conversion heating by near‐infrared light irradiation.
