## Abstract We are developing a new spinal implant system (SIS) without fusion (bone graft). This SIS is made from two materials, metal and polyetheretherketone (PEEK) polymer. The Food and Drug Administration recommended testing __in vivo,__ in an animal model, whether the PEEK polymer could be us

We have constructed and tested in vitro a potentially implantable, needle-type amperometric enzyme electrode which is suitable for continuous monitoring of glucose concentrations in diabetic patients. The major requirements of stability during operation and ease of manufacture have been met with a s
## Abstract A study was performed to determine whether an implanted, inductively coupled nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) imaging spine coil could provide a significant gain in signalβtoβnoise ratio (SNR) on images of the spinal cord relative to the SNR of optimized surface coils. Implanted coils w
