Abstract

This paper presents an initial formal review of the suitability of currently available actuation technologies for use in fully implantable medical devices, with a focus on applications requiring linear motion. Examples of such applications are a mechatronic hydrocephalus shunt and implantable insulin pumps. Some general basic requirements for fully implantable devices are discussed, followed by an overview of potential actuators. Possible design concepts are presented for electromagnetic and shape memory technologies, including a comparison of their respective pros and cons. Methods of modeling and analysis are given to aid early decision-making processes for general design applications. Finally, other more complicated but attractive actuation possibilities are discussed.

对目前用于医疗植入物的致动器适用性的回顾。

本文提出了一个初步的正式审查，目前可用的驱动技术的适用性，用于完全植入式医疗设备，重点是应用需要线性运动。此类应用的例子是机电脑积水分流器和植入式胰岛素泵。讨论了完全植入式装置的一些一般基本要求，然后概述了潜在的致动器。提出了电磁和形状记忆技术的可能的设计概念，包括它们各自的优缺点的比较。给出了建模和分析的方法，以帮助一般设计应用的早期决策过程。最后，讨论了其他更复杂但有吸引力的驱动可能性。
