Abstract: The authors present a novel magnetomechanical elastic element that can be loaded remotely by varying the magnetic field surrounding it and that is able to store and release mechanical energy upon external triggering. The ...

Abstract: Magnetic instruments for laparoscopic surgery have the potential to enhance triangulation and reduce invasiveness, as they can be rearranged inside the abdominal cavity and do not need a dedicated port during the procedure. ...

Abstract: This paper presents the design, fabrication, and experimental validation of a novel low-cost implantable pump for the treatment of refractory ascites (RA) based on local magnetic actuation (LMA). A reciprocating positive ...
