According to reports, a South Korean research team has recently developed a subcutaneous solar panel
that can power implantable medical devices such as pacemakers.
Patients who have previously had medical devices implanted in their bodies undergo regular surgery to replace their batteries
.
If this technology is promoted, medical devices in the body can continue to be used without replacing the battery, thereby greatly reducing the inconvenience
caused to patients.
The thickness of this kind of solar panel is only 6~7 microns
.
When the panels were implanted subcutaneously in mice, there was no significant difference between the skin in this area and the surrounding skin
.
The 0.
07 square centimeter solar panel is exposed to sunlight for two hours and the electricity generated can be used for 24 hours by the pacemaker currently in use, and the remaining power can be used at night or on rainy days
.
Lee Jong-ho, a professor at South Korea's Gwangju Institute of Science and Technology, said: "In my opinion, once the power supply problem is solved, many new and more comprehensive medical devices will be available
.
”
However, larger and softer solar panels still need to be further developed
before they can be officially promoted.
