摘要
We present our current developments in the GASS project. GASS is an implantable sphincter prosthesis driven by a micropump. The aim of the previous stages of this project was to demonstrate the feasibility of the approach. Currently we focus on the safety and efficiency of the micropump. A low-voltage multilayer actuator was developed to reduce the driving voltage of the micropump from approximately 300 Vpp to 30 Vpp. A miniaturized driving circuit with charge recovery is currently developed. The overall efficiency of the micropump system is in the range of 2% depending on the hydraulic conditions. Different approaches for the energy management of the prosthesis and the resulting size, weight and lifetime are presented.
