Nanomedical Devices: An overviewAbstract: A new era on medicine are expected to happen in the coming years.Due to the advances in the field of nanotechnology, nanodevice manufacturing has been growing gradually. Some medical nanodevices may have mobility - the ability to swim through the blood, or crawl through body tissue or along the walls of arteries. Others could have different shapes, colors, and surface textures, depending on the functions they would be intended to perform. They would have different types of robotic manipulators, different sensor arrays. Each medical nanodevice could be designed to do a particular job extremely well, and would have a unique shape and behavior. The most elementary nanomedical devices are used to diagnose illness and to repair damages and infections.
