Northwestern University engineers have developed a pacemaker so tiny that it can fit inside the tip of a syringe—and be noninvasively injected into the body. Although it can work with hearts of all ...

Smaller than a grain of rice, new pacemaker is particularly suited to the small, fragile hearts of newborn babies with congenital heart defects. Tiny pacemaker is paired with a small, soft, flexible ...

See that teeny tiny rectangle next to that pencil tip up there? That’s a pacemaker – the world’s smallest in fact, which has just been revealed in a new study. Cardiac pacemakers are up there with ...

When the temporary pacemaker is no longer needed, surgeons remove the pacemaker electrodes. But potential complications include infection, dislodgement, torn or damaged tissues, bleeding and blood ...

Northwestern researchers have developed the world’s smallest pacemaker, which with its dissolvable nature allows it to be inserted non-invasively into patients’ bodies. Fit into the tip of a syringe, ...

The tiny pacemaker sits next to a single grain of rice on a fingertip. The device is so small that it can be non-invasively injected into the body via a syringe. Northwestern University engineers have ...
