In the frame of the Flemish Community funded project Bioflex we developed and fabricated an implant for short term (< 7 days) bladder pressure monitoring, and diagnosis of incontinence. This implant is soft and flexible to prevent damaging the bladder's inner wall. It contains a standard flexible electronic circuit connected to a battery, which are embedded in surface treated silicone to enhance...
An electronic device was fabricated consisting of 2 flexible electronic circuit islands, interconnected by a 7 cm long elastic interconnection, which could be elongated for at least 50%. This interconnection was based on gold conductor tracks following a 2-D spring pattern, embedded in a biocompatible silicone elastomer. The complete device was embedded in the same silicone elastomer. An in vitro...
Stretchable electronics consist of a stretchable substrate material with embedded electronic components connected by electronic interconnections. Since little or no stretchable electronic components are available, it is vital to engineer electronic interconnections which are stretchable. Today metals (copper, nickel and gold) are the best option to realize the interconnections with high performance...
For user comfort reasons, electronic circuits for implantation in the human body or for use as smart clothes should ideally be soft, stretchable and elastic. In this contribution the results of an MID (Molded Interconnect Device) technology will be presented, showing the feasibility of functional stretchable electronic circuits. In the developed technology rigid or flexible standard components are...
