Abstract

We propose a new concept of an implantable device totally made of bio-degradable polymers such as Poly(lactic acid) (PLA). Since the bio-degradable polymer is decomposed and absorbed in a human body, the removal surgery after use is not required. A micro fabrication process of bio-degradable polymer has already developed [1,2]. In addition to the fabrication of micro structure, we succeeded to develop a 'bio-degradable actuator' with a two-way motion in this paper. This actuator needs no electric power because it utilizes a chronological change of mechanical property of bio-degradable polymers. The driving principle of the actuator was verified successfully. The total bio-degradable micro device concept should open new field of an implantable micro device.
