Abstract
Magnetic tubular implantable micro-robots are batch fabricated by electroforming. These microdevices can be used in targeted drug delivery and minimally invasive surgery for ophthalmologic applications. These tubular shapes are fitted into a 23-gauge needle enabling sutureless injections. Using a 5-degree-of-freedom magnetic manipulation system, the microimplants are conveniently maneuvered in biological environments. To increase their functionality, the tubes are coated with biocompatible films and can be successfully filled with drugs.
