Abstract

The creation of implantable devices that support the functioning of the body is an important area in the field of medical technology. Many of these devices require a power supply, and it is desirable that such sources work during the entire period of implantation, even in the case of a lifelong implant installation. The published data on energy sources for powering implantable and wearable medical devices is reviewed. A comparative assessment of the characteristics of biofuel cells as the most developed version of an implantable energy source with other renewable sources of electric energy based on thermo-, piezo-, electrostatic (ES), magneto-, and photo-converters is given. Particular attention is paid to the use of implantable devices that can serve as a source of energy for low-power systems: micropumps, pacemakers, neuroimplants, etc.

可植入和可穿戴医疗设备的微型能源

摘要

支持身体功能的可植入设备的创建是医疗技术领域的重要领域。这些装置中的许多装置都需要电源，并且即使在终身植入物安装的情况下，也希望此类源在整个植入期间都能工作。审查了有关为可植入和可穿戴医疗设备供电的能源的公开数据。给出了对生物燃料电池特性的比较评估，该生物燃料电池是可植入能源的最先进版本，它与基于热，压电，静电（ES），磁和光电转换器的其他可再生电能。特别注意可植入设备的使用，这些设备可作为低功率系统的能源：微型泵，起搏器，神经植入物等。
