A unit adapted to be implanted in a human body including a power supply for having power induced therein from a source external of the body, electrodes adapted to be attached to a muscular organ, such as a bladder or the like, capacitors and SCR's in circuit with said electrodes and said power supply for normally storing electrical energy and discharging said electrical energy through the electrodes upon conduction of the SCR's, triggering circuitry connected between the power supply and the SCR's for triggering the SCR's when the power induced in the power supply is temporarily interrupted and an FM transmitter connected to the power supply and between a pair of spaced apart electrodes so as to transmit a signal varying in frequency according to the resistance of the material between the electrodes; and an external control unit including means for inducing power into the internal power supply and controllable to periodically and temporarily remove power to control the energy supplied to the electrodes and an FM receiver with indicating means attached to provide an indication as to the operation of the muscular organ.
