Researchers at Northwestern University have unveiled the world’s smallest pacemaker — a wireless, dissolvable device no ...

Engineers at Northwestern University developed a pacemaker that can fit inside the tip of a syringe for easier implantation.

CARDIAC pacemakers have been in use for implanting into man for more than a decade and have relied chiefly on mercury or nickel cadmium cells as sources of power 1.

Current methods for temporary pacemakers in adults involve surgeons attaching electrodes directly to the heart and connecting them to an external device with wires ... a design that uses light for ...

These temporary pacemakers are “essential life-saving technologies,” wrote the team ... But once implanted, natural fluids from heart cells form a liquid “bridge” that completes the electrical circuit ...

Many patients require temporary pacemakers after heart surgery, either while waiting ... the new pacemaker operates through the action of a galvanic cell, a simple battery that transforms chemical ...

A light-activated pacemaker dissolves in the body after use, offering safer, wireless heart care - especially for newborns after surgery.

Researchers tested the pacemaker using animal subjects before moving to human trials. This innovation presents the potential to transform the global cardiac care system, which is particularly ...

Temporary pacemaker can be injected, fits any size patient, including babies, and eliminates need to remove it.

Scientists said Wednesday they have developed the world's tiniest pacemaker, a temporary heartbeat regulator smaller than a ...

The device is smaller than a grain of rice — and is suited particularly to help newborn babies with congenital heart defects.
