AT&S to Present Innovations for Medical Technology at Compamed

Estimated reading time: 4 minutes

Thanks to highly miniaturized PCB technology as a carrier for the corresponding electronics, 'smart capsules', which monitor specific body parameters and transmit the relevant data or deliver a controlled dose of medication, are now a reality too.

In addition to the necessary miniaturization and high quality requirements in medical technology, the development of new biocompatible materials also presents a challenge. AT&S is researching materials that are to be used directly in the body. The objective of this research is twofold: Depending on the field of application, the materials should, on the one hand, be resistant and, on the other hand, have no negative effects on humans themselves and their environment.
