摘要
<p>The implant has an extracorporeal electromagnetic controller, and a body tissue i.e. vein part, transplanted in a urethra or as a urethral substitute in a location. The tissue is provided at an electromagnetically controlled valve system and is processed for implantation. A fabric-compatibly encapsulated magnetic coil (C) is attached on the urethral substitute for production of an electrical magnetic field. The magnetic coil contacts an induction field under a skin of an implant receiver. The valve system has a valve sleeve (J) wound with silicone.</p>
