Micro- and nanotechnical products in medicine

In recent years, new technologies like microtechnology and nanotechnology followed the development of microelectronics. Thanks to the rapid development of cost-effective processes for mass production of microparts, the irrepressible crossing from precision engineering to microtechnology has been continued. No effort is spared in development of micromechanics and manufacture of heterogeneous microsystems, as well as in integration of microproducts into macroscopic systems and development of biochip production. Continuous development has one consequence-graduate crossing to nanoproducts' field. Scientists have succeeded in developing tools that enable them to create functional nanostructures by transposition of individual atoms and molecules. Disease and ill health are caused largely by damage at the molecular and cellular level. Today's surgical tools are, at this scale, large and crude3.
