An explosion in multidisciplinary research, combining mechanical, chemical, and electrical engineering with physiology and medicine, during the 1960s created huge advances in modern health care. In cardiovascular therapy, lifesaving implantable defibrillators, ventricular assist devices, catheter-based ablation devices, vascular stent technology, and cell and tissue engineering technologies have been introduced. The latest and leading technology presents robots intended to keep the surgeon in the most comfortable, dexterous, and ergonomic position during the entire procedure. The branch of the medical and rehabilitation robotics includes the manipulators and robots providing surgery, therapy, prosthetics, and rehabilitation. This chapter provides an overview of research in cardiac surgery devices.

Practical Design and Applications of Medical Devices focuses on advanced medical device development featuring various biomedical instruments and their applications. The book focuses on devices which receive and transmit bioelectric signals, such as electrocardiograph, electrodes, blood flow, blood pressure, physiological effects and, in some cases, current flowing through the human body. A thorough guide for researchers and engineers in the field of biomedical and instrumentation engineering, this book presents a streamlined medical strategy for designing these medical devices, sensors, and tools. It also promotes operational efficiency in the healthcare industry, with the goals of improving patient safety, lowering overall healthcare costs, broadening access to healthcare services, and improving accessibility. Covers the fundamental principles of medical and biological instrumentation, as well as the typical features of its design and construction Provides various methods of designing modern medical devices Focuses on specific devices with detailed functions, applications, and how they measure and transmit data
