Remotely adjustable artificial sphincter |
摘要 |
<p>An implantable artificial sphincter system (10) provides long-term adjustment via transcutaneous energy transfer (TET), minimizing invasive adjustment through adding or removing fluid via a syringe. An infuser device (30) provides bi-directional fluid transfer via a flexible conduit (28) to a sphincter band (14), such as a gastric band. Materials are nonferrous and nonmagnetic so as to be magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) safe, being substantially immune to strong magnetic fields and not introducing an electromagnetic interference/compatibility (EMIC) hazard.</p> |
