Villi Inspired Mechanical Interlocking for Intestinal Retentive Devices (Adv. Sci. 30/2023)
Year: 2023
Type: article
Abstract: Villi Inspired Mechanical Interlocking Balancing effective medical device retention in the small intestine with minimal tissue trauma is a vital clinical pursuit. Inspiration is drawn from intestinal villi, leading to a strategy of utilizing high-aspect-ratio elastomeric microposts for mechanical interlocking with villi to create non-penetrative intestinal retentive platforms.
