Background
In recent years, with the rapid development of new technologies, new processes, new materials and the like, implantable medical devices break through the technical bottleneck continuously, and more micro/nano implantable medical devices are applied to human bodies. The micro/nano implantable medical devices can be used for continuously monitoring the physiological health state of a human body so as to provide disease change trend and help the treatment of diseases; can also be used for accurately treating diseases at specific positions and the like. Among these micro/nano-implantable medical devices, there is a class of devices known as biodegradable devices that have received widespread attention from various societies in recent years. The device can be automatically decomposed after working in a human body for a period of time, and is discharged out of the body along with the physiological circulation of the human body, and the device has the advantages of no harm to the human body and no need of secondary operation for extraction.
While these biodegradable micro/nano-implantable medical devices are mostly operated with electrical energy, limited by the state of the art, it remains a challenge to power implantable devices in vivo. Researchers use degradable wireless radio frequency energy transmission modules for energy supply, but the method firstly needs an external energy supply source and secondly has the problems of limitation of energy transmission direction and low energy transmission efficiency. There are also ways that researchers can collect mechanical energy from human body movement by an energy collector and then convert it into electrical energy, however this method requires implanting the device in a specific long-term moving part, such as the heart, etc., which limits the range of use of the device. More importantly, due to the limitations of the development of materials science, none of the implantable energizing devices utilized in these current methods are completely degradable, yet require a secondary operation for removal. In contrast, the conformal biodegradable implantable flexible energy supply device has high energy transmission efficiency, can be conformally combined with implantable devices in various shapes, is not limited by an implantation position, can be completely biodegraded, and can be used for solving the energy supply problem of biodegradable micro/nano implantable medical devices.
