<p>This invention relates to microfabricated surgical devices and methods of making the same. One such device includes an end portion and a body portion wherein at least a part of the body portion is hollow and includes a conformally coated polymer formed on inside and outside surfaces of the body portion. One such method includes defining at least one channel (14a, 16a) in the surface of a first substrate (10), joining a second substrate (12) to the first substrate (10) to cover the channel (14, 16), forming a trench (18, 20, 22) in the first (10) and second substrates (12) on each side of the channel (14, 16) define a shell structure, and releasing the shell structure from the first and second substrates.</p> |
