Fiber Optic Sensors that Dissolve Within the Human Body

As a first ever attempt, scientists have developed sensing elements called fiber Bragg gratings within optical fibers, formed to dissolve absolutely within the body. The bioresorbable fiber Bragg gratings can be adopted for in-body observation of bone fracture healing and for secure investigation of sensitive organs, for example, brain.
