	Nanomedicine - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Nanomedicine is the medical application of nanotechnology and related research.
		A typical blood borne medical nanorobot would be between 0.5-3 micrometres in size, because that is the maximum size possible due to capillary passage requirement.
		Carbon would be the primary element used to build these nanorobots due to the inherent strength and other characteristics of some forms of carbon (diamond/fullerene composites).

	Nanorobotics - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The first useful applications of nanomachines will likely be in medical technology, where they could be used to identify pathogens and toxins from samples of body fluid and destroy them or to deliver chemotherapeutic drugs directly inside a tumour [1].
		Medical nanotechnology is often expected to utilize nanorobots injected into the patient to perform their treatment on a cellular level.
		Instead, medical nanorobots may be manufactured in carefully controlled nanofactories in which nanoscale machines are solidly integrated into a desktop-scale machine that builds macroscopic products.

	1.3.3
		The third branch, molecular nanotechnology, takes as its purview the engineering of all complex mechanical systems constructed from the molecular level -- potentially offering new tools for medical practice, the principal subject of this book.
		Molecular nanotechnology is essential when the damage to the human body is extremely subtle, highly selective, or time-critical (as in head traumas, burns, or fast-spreading diseases), or when the damage is very massive, overwhelming the body's natural defenses and repair mechanisms.
		These and other differences imply a number of important advantages that mechanical-based medical systems will enjoy over biological-based medical systems, which, taken together, strongly suggest that predominantly mechanical nanosystems may be the approach of choice for a mature medical nanotechnology.
