Abstract
This paper is aimed at the analysis of the main characteristics of recent micro-devices for biomedical applications. The massive use of microtechnologies is limited today to a reduced number of fields such as: telemedicine, bioanalysis, patient monitoring, implantable devices for functional regeneration, diseases treatment, signal recording, and minimally invasive surgery. The various aspects of the current tendencies are also analysed. We conclude with the biomedical devices that CNM has developed or is currently developing
