“…MRE-PPs do not need any classic motor drives and rollers, and allow remote manipulation, which is very useful for the in vivo sensitive fluid conveying Gordaninejad, 2016a, 2016b;Fuhrer et al, 2013;Lum et al, 2016). More importantly, the MRE tube without battery, as an actuator, is nearly harmless to human body in comparison with classic pumps such as artificial heart pumps with battery (Behrooz & Gordaninejad, 2016a, 2016bEhsani and Nejat, 2017;Fuhrer et al, 2013;Liu et al, 2017;Said et al, 2017;Stork and Mayer, 2018;Vasilyeva, 2017). Although the presence of carbonyl iron particles embedded in a silicone matrix makes MRE-PPs only partially biocompatible, biocompatibility of MRE-PPs can be realized by coating a thin layer of silicone over the MRE tube (Hu et al, 2018).…”
