Microchips in Medicine: Current and Future Applications

Microchips in Medicine: Current and Future Applications

With the objective of improving efficacy and morbidity, device manufacturers incorporate chemicals or drugs into medical implants. Using multiple reservoirs of discrete drug doses, microchips represent a new technology capable of on-demand release of various drugs over long periods of time. Herein,...
