Design and Fabrication of Tissue Micromanipulator
of SU-8/Ti double layer
Recent advances in MEMS technology will have significant impact on biomedical engineering. It is enabling a wide range of applications such as implantable diagnostic devices, drop-on-demand drug delivery systems and miniaturization of sensors and manipulators for key-hole surgery. We are intending to design and develop miniaturised micromanipulators for tissue manipulation which can be used in key-hole surgery and tissue engineering.

Work has been undertaken to characterize the mechanical properties of a number of biocompatible thin film materials and micro-machined structures using theoretical, physical and finite element methods. Future work will include fabrication, packaging, lab and clinical trials in collaboration with School of Life Science and Ninewells.
