ABSTRACT
This chapter aims to assess the application of origami-based structures in biomedical applications. Modern origami is mostly studied on the basis of a mathematical principles/modeling called origamics, which includes the elementary principles of design, structural properties, and kinematics. The key features of origami-inspired biomedical devices includes a simple synthesis procedure, cost-effective and disposable design, and highly compact adaptable designs to reach remote areas for biomedical applications. Nanostructured origami is rapidly evolving to construct delicate structures by integrating novel functionality into crystalline nanostructures. The majority of origami-inspired designed devices focus on reaching remote areas within the body to execute a procedure such as imaging, biopsy, surgery, etc. The origami-inspired hydrogenation-aided graphene structure can accomplish drug uptake and storage and help in sustainable delivery. Researchers have discovered the probability of using modern origami designs to develop many biomedical procedures/devices such as cardiac catheterization, stent grafts, disposable sterilization covers, microsurgical devices, microfluidic devices, surgical grippers, and more, especially for drug delivery.
