Some medical applications of composite nanomaterials containing carbon nanotubes are described. Particular applications are bone and cartilage tissue implants, biological solders for laser welding, artificial muscles, and highly conductive layers for electrodes of medical devices (defibrillators, cardiographs, encephalographs, etc.). Additionally, safety of composite nanomaterials with carbon nanotubes is discussed.
