"world's tiniest flexible, microelectronic microcatheter... as thin as a hair... electronic components for sensors and actuators are already integrated into the catheter wall.... tiny diameter of only 0.1 mm and are also characterized by their flexibility, resilience, and high biocompatibility... Using microchip technologies to manufacture the microcatheters allows us to generate completely new types of biomedical and multifunctional tools... minimally invasive treatments of aneurysms, vascular malformations, or pancreatic surgery"
