Only at the final stage of production are the micro-cantilevers released to deflect above the supporting surface, forming truly 3D microstructures. Microvisk’s MEMS-based micro-cantilever devices are produced on a wafer-scale where thousands of identical microchips are processed together as flat structures on the surface of silicon wafers. Microvisk developed a new technique that stems from research on micro-technology and harnesses the power of micro-electronic mechanical systems (MEMS). They are comfortable in the hand and the home use device is a discrete size.Įxisting hand held devices work by inducing a chemical reaction that is picked up by electrodes coated with compounds. The devices are simple to use with a clear display and large buttons.

Health management for those taking anti-coagulants often involves the weekly monitoring of blood clotting time to ensure that drug dosage is appropriate. A number of medical conditions adversely affect this process and in these cases patients are often prescribed an anti-coagulant.

When a blood vessel is damaged or broken, blood loss needs to be minimized, so a series of reactions begins to form a blood clot. The viscosity of blood is widely regarded as an indicator of general health.
