Additively Manufactured Diamond for Energy Scavenging and Wireless Power Transfer in Implantable Devices

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Additive manufacturing is expanding beyond mechanical prosthetics into microelectronic implants. This work presents a diamond‐titanium hybrid that enables wireless power transfer, localized heating, and flow sensing. The use of additive manufacturing combined with the biocompatibility of the diamond‐titanium hybrid material paves the way toward new ...

Optimization of the Nonclinical Biological Evaluation of Medical Devices Using Toxicologic Pathology Best Practices

open access: yesAdvanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
Nonclinical evaluation of biological responses to implanted medical devices and combination products in animals is required to predict possible outcomes and risks in patients. This paper describes globally accepted pathology “best practices” that 1) effectively address ISO standards and current regulatory guidance for medical device development and 2 ...
