Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2016/031734
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
To continuously supply power in a more reliable manner to an intracorporeal implant-type medical device upon reducing the physical burden on a patient. An intracorporeal power generation system (100) provided in a living body, said system (100) generating power fed to an intracorporeal implant-type medical device (10), wherein the intracorporeal power generation system (100) is provided with: electrodes (106) provided so as to be capable of applying a voltage to muscle tissue (20) at a predetermined site in vivo; a movable part (108) provided so as to be capable of moving in a predetermined direction upon detection of muscle tissue contraction in response to application of the voltage to the electrodes; a power generation mechanism (104) for generating an electromotive force in concert with the movement of the movable part; a string-shaped connecting member (110) having one end connected to the movable part and the other end connected to the power generation mechanism; and a control unit (118) for controlling the voltage applied to the electrodes.
