Fully Implantable, Wireless Pacemaker Talks to Patient and Dissolves after Use

In a new study, the team has combined and coordinated their bioresorbable, leadless pacemaker with four different skin-interfaced devices to work together. The skin-mounted devices are soft, flexible and can be gently peeled off after use, eliminating the need for surgical removal. The pacemaker naturally dissolves in the body after a period of need.
