Micro Coil Devices: Revolution in the Medical Tech Domain in 2023

Medical Tech is advancing at a fast pace. With the growing development in the medical space, the utilization of micro coils in medical instruments is also increasing. Being a pioneer when it comes to miniaturization, they help in progressing non-invasive medical processes. 

They provide numerous benefits when compared to traditional methods. But, while using micro coils, certain challenges need to be met. 

The main challenge that needs to be tackled is the integration of the micro-coil with the instrument. Traditional methods don’t come in handy.

Due to the high tendency of the micro-coil to get damaged, and lose its chemical properties, soldering is avoided. Moreover, a reaction with oxygen can lead to the formation of oxides that can change the chemical properties of the micro-coil too.

Thus, a solution had to be found for the same.

Thermo-Pressure Bonding to Integrate Micro-Coils

Thermo-Pressure bonding plays a crucial role in the integration of the micro-coils with the instruments. The bonding ensures that the coils don’t undergo any change in the physical or chemical properties – moreover, coils thinner than the size of the hair can be integrated.

It is beneficial as they lead to improved durability and ensure that such coils can have medical applications.

Micro coils have a greater surface area. It means that the exposed surface to the target area is more, thus the reading which can be taken is highly accurate.

During the generation of non-invasive procedures, micro-coil has come as a breath of fresh air. 

Medical Applications of Micro-Coils

Micro-coils have numerous medical implementations. Let us find out how they have improved the domain of medical instrumentation:

1. In the diagnostic space, micro-coils have been instrumental in the wireless communication domain. Having a high utility in logging data, they find applications in physiological measurements. 
2. Unraveling the deep impulse information can be quite challenging if not for the micro coils. They help in tracking the data related to brain simulations and heart rhythms through the pacemaker. 
3. Applications in the therapeutic space as the end device for electricity-based medical instruments have been a breakthrough application for micro-coil. 
4. The most challenging application is the delivery of drugs internally, in the unreachable corners of the human body, positioning of the stent, catheters, and many more. The application of micro-coil in medical instruments has made it possible. 

Benefits of Using Micro Coil for Medical Purposes

An important benefit of a micro coil is its size. Since the dimension is small, it can assist in reaching unreachable areas. Secondly, the non-invasive procedures have been successful due to targeted drug delivery – which is made possible by micro-coils. 

Breakthrough in cancer treatment is only possible through micro coils. With consistent heating and cooling to extreme temperatures being a requirement for cancer treatment, micro coil devices can reach the target sites. 

Once a device is implanted within the body, it cannot be replaced soon. Thus, high durability is very needed – which comes with micro coil devices. With high durability, the medical implants ensure better performance and lower replaceability costs.
