Tiny wireless pacemaker that can be inserted into the body without invasive surgery has been approved to be used in European union. This is developed by Nanostim (US start-up). The device can be implanted directly in the heart and also less than 10% of the size of conventional pacemaker. It has a built-in battery, smaller than AAA battery, that lasts between nine and thirteen years. Some says its at a very early stage but still an exciting development. There a lot of studies yet to be done, regarding how long the pacemaker last, its precautions and so on. But still its a great development which can help a lot of cardiac patients, with no wires to trouble them. :D :) A promise to doctors for easier implantation and a life more comfortable for patients.
