Claims13
An implantable device comprising a core portion and a capsule encapsulating the core portion, said capsule having an outer surface, wherein at least a portion of the outer surface comprises gold having a purity greater than 99.00% w/w, preferably 99.99% w/w.
The implantable device according to claim 5, wherein the implantable device is an encapsulated microchip and the core portion comprises electrical components.
A method for producing an implantable device, comprising the steps of:
- a) providing an implantable device comprising a core portion, and a capsule encapsulating the core portion
- b) applying gold having a purity greater than 99.00% w/w, preferably 99.99% w/w on at least a part of the outer surface of the device provided in step a), thereby providing an outer surface portion, preventing migration of the device when implanted in a subject.
A method for preventing the migration of an implantable device, the method comprising the steps of:
- a) providing an implantable device comprising a core portion, and a capsule encapsulating the core portion, said capsule having an outer surface,
- b) applying gold on the outer surface of the microchip provided in step a), thereby providing an outer surface portion preventing migration of the microchip when implanted in a subject, preferably the application is achieved by coating, and
- c) implanting the device into said subject at a predetermined location in the subject.
