Abstract

Nanotechnology is rapidly evolving and having a widespread impact. Due to the small size and physiochemical nature of nanomaterials, it has been revolutionising advanced medical devices. It is important to note that the World Health Organisation’s definition of medical devices includes examples that are counterintuitive but must be examined, this involves a large range of devices that can be categorised in the fields of imaging, biosensors and surgery. It is also germane to evaluate how academia, industry and government regulations are using legislative protocols to mitigate the associated risks. This chapter intends to review the field of advanced medical devices utilizing nanotechnology together with a discussion on its impact on health and medicine.
