COMPLIANT BIOCOMPATIBLE PACKAGING SCHEME BASED ON NiTi SHAPE MEMORY ALLOYS FOR IMPLANTABLE BIOMEDICAL MICROSYSTEMS

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a long time persistent, flexible, strong, biocompatible, tough, deformable, and implantable packaging scheme (i.e. coating).;SOLUTION: A compliant biocompatible packaging scheme, (i.e., coating) for implantable medical device, particularly implantable biomedical microsystems 10 is provided. In accordance with the present invention, the compliant biocompatible coating includes an optional dielectric undercoating 12 and an overcoat 14 including a NiTi shape memory alloy.;COPYRIGHT: (C)2007,JPO&INPIT
