polymer-based electrical stimulators

Polymer-based electrical stimulators use special plastic-like materials called conductive polymers to deliver electrical signals to the body. These materials can conduct electricity while remaining flexible and lightweight, making them ideal for medical devices that need to conform to tissues or move with the body. They can be applied as patches, threads, or coatings, providing targeted stimulation for healing, nerve regeneration, or muscle activation. Their biocompatibility and adaptability improve patient comfort and reduce device size, offering a promising approach for minimally invasive, personalized medical treatments that leverage soft, flexible electronics.
