Wireless Capsule Device for Targeted and Safe Tissue Biopsy with Integrated Sensing (Adv. Mater. Technol. 23/2025)
Wireless Capsule Devices In their Research Article (10.1002/admt.202501179), Xiaoguang Dong and co-workers report a novel magnetically controlled biopsy mechanism to enhance biopsy procedural safety. The magnetic biopsy unit integrates a flexible sensor-integrated foldable linkage and dual-magnet configuration that establishes a magnetic attraction–based safety mechanism, preventing unintentional activation during locomotion. This sensory capsule robot is promising for minimally invasive, safety-assured tissue biopsy in confined and hard-to-reach regions of the gastrointestinal tract.
