The World’s Smallest Pacemaker: Design and Applications

The World’s Smallest Pacemaker: Design and Applications

Minimally Invasive. Wireless. Bioresorbable. A breakthrough in temporary cardiac pacing and electrotherapy.

Join us for a live webinar with Dr. Eric Rytkin (Efimov Lab, Northwestern University) as he shares the story behind the development of a millimetre-scale, fully bioresorbable pacemaker, a revolutionary device built for translational science and preclinical research.

Originally developed for temporary cardiac pacing, this is now enabling new frontiers in:

  • Nerve Regeneration
  • Wound Healing
  • Muscle Stimulation
  • Smart Bioelectronic Therapy

 

This session will highlight how this device performs across small and large animal models, integrates into existing procedures like TAVR, and how it dissolves safely after use, removing the need for surgical removal.

🧪 Key Takeaways:

  • Explore the engineering behind the device and its wireless optical control
  • Learn how it can be used in Langendorff, in vivo, or ex vivo models
  •  Discover its applications in cardiology, neuroscience, and musculoskeletal research
  • Understand how it enables multi-site pacing, closed-loop electrotherapy, and minimal implantation stress

 

Whether you work in cardiology, biomedical engineering, or advanced medical device research, this session will leave you inspired, and informed.
