Description

La présente invention a pour objet un dispositif de commande d'un organe artificiel implanté dans le corps humain et nécessitant pour son fonctionnement un apport d'énergie électrique. The present invention relates to a device for controlling an artificial organ implanted in the human body and requiring for its operation a supply of electrical energy.

Pour remédier aux altérations ou aux pertes de contrôle d'un organe, on peut remplacer cet organe déficient, ou lui adjoindre un organe artificiel. To remedy the alterations or loss of control of an organ, one can replace this deficient organ, or add an artificial organ to it.

Actuellement ces organes artificiels fonctionnent, pour la plupart, mécaniquement ou hydrauliquement, notamment pour ce qui est des sphincters artificiels, mais ces dispositifs présentent l'inconvénient de nécessiter des moyens de liaison entre 11 organe concerné et son moyen de commande, ce qui est une cause de gêne et d'inconfort pour le patient. Currently these artificial organs operate, for the most part, mechanically or hydraulically, in particular with regard to artificial sphincters, but these devices have the drawback of requiring connection means between the organ concerned and its control means, which is a cause discomfort and discomfort for the patient.

D'autre part il est difficile de concevoir un organe artificiel fonctionnant électriquement relié à un générateur extra-corporel par l'intermédiaire de fils électriques traversant la peau. On the other hand, it is difficult to conceive an artificial organ operating electrically connected to an extracorporeal generator by means of electric wires passing through the skin.

La présente invention a pour but de remédier à cet inconvénient en proposant un dispositif de commande d'un organe artificiel nécessitant un apport d'énergie électrique, ledit dispositif présentant l'avantage de ne pas nécessiter de liaison physique entre ledit organe et l'extérieur de ltorganisme.  The object of the present invention is to remedy this drawback by proposing a device for controlling an artificial organ requiring an electrical energy supply, said device having the advantage of not requiring a physical connection between said organ and the outside. of the organization.

Le dispositif objet de l'invention permet de transmettre à travers la peau, de l'extérieur vers l'intérieur de l'organisme, une énergie portée par des ondes. The device which is the subject of the invention makes it possible to transmit through the skin, from the outside to the inside of the organism, energy carried by waves.

A cet effet le dispositif selon l'invention comporte d'une part un dispositif de commande extra corporel à commande manuelle ou à commande gérée par un microprocesseur, comprenant une source d'énergie électrique, un oscillateur, un amplificateur et une antenne émettrice, et d'autre part un capteur d'énergie intra-corporel comprenant une antenne réceptrice, un dispositif d'accord de l'onde produite par l'émetteur et un ensemble de redressement connecté à l'organe artificiel. To this end, the device according to the invention comprises, on the one hand, an extracorporeal control device with manual control or with control managed by a microprocessor, comprising a source of electrical energy, an oscillator, an amplifier and a transmitting antenna, and on the other hand an intra-body energy sensor comprising a receiving antenna, a device for tuning the wave produced by the transmitter and a rectifying assembly connected to the artificial organ.

La source électrique mise en oeuvre dans le dispositif de commande extra-corporel peut être par exemple une pile, une batterie ou un accumulateur. The electrical source used in the extracorporeal control device can for example be a battery, a battery or an accumulator.

Le dispositif d'accord de l'onde produite mis en oeuvre dans le capteur d'énergie intra-corporel peut être par exemple une condensateur ajustable permettant de sélectionner l'onde émise afin qu'aucune onde parasite n'active intempestivement l'organe artificiel. The device for tuning the produced wave implemented in the intra-body energy sensor can for example be an adjustable capacitor making it possible to select the emitted wave so that no parasitic wave inadvertently activates the artificial organ. .

Ainsi lorsque l'organe artificiel doit entrer en action il suffit d'approcher le boîtier de commande de la peau à proximité de l'antenne de réception du capteur d'énergie intra-corporel, de l'activer afin d'envoyer des ondes à travers la peau, ondes qui sont captées et transformées en l'énergie électrique nécessaire au fonctionnement dudit organe artificiel. So when the artificial organ has to come into action, it suffices to approach the control unit of the skin near the receiving antenna of the intra-body energy sensor, to activate it in order to send waves to through the skin, waves which are captured and transformed into the electrical energy necessary for the functioning of said artificial organ.

Les ondes mises en oeuvre dans le dispositif selon l'invention peuvent être n'importe quelles ondes susceptibles de transporter de l'énergie, comme des ondes magnétiques, ou électromagnétiques (B.F., H.F., U.H.F., micro-ondes, radar). The waves used in the device according to the invention can be any waves capable of transporting energy, such as magnetic waves, or electromagnetic waves (B.F., H.F., U.H.F., microwave, radar).

Les avantages et les caractéristiques de la présente invention ressortiront plus clairement de la description qui suit et qui se rapporte au dessin annexé, lequel en représente un mode de réalisation non limitatif. The advantages and characteristics of the present invention will emerge more clearly from the description which follows and which refers to the appended drawing, which represents a non-limiting embodiment thereof.

Dans le dessin annexé
- la figure 1 représente une vue schématique de profil d'un boîtier de commande selon l'invention.In the attached drawing
- Figure 1 shows a schematic profile view of a control unit according to the invention.

- la figure 2 représente une vue schématique de dessus du même boîtier de commande. - Figure 2 shows a schematic top view of the same control unit.

- la figure 3 représente une vue schématique de profil d'un capteur d'onde intra-corporel. - Figure 3 shows a schematic profile view of an intra-body wave sensor.

- la figure 4 représente une vue de dessus du même capteur d'onde intra-corporel. - Figure 4 shows a top view of the same intra-body wave sensor.

- la figure 5 représente le schéma simplifié du circuit électronique du boîtier de commande. - Figure 5 shows the simplified diagram of the electronic circuit of the control unit.

Si on se réfère aux figures 1 ,2 et 5 on peut voir qu' un dispositif extra-corporel de commande comporte un boîtier 1 renfermant à l'une de ses extrémités une antenne 10 d'émission, reliée à un circuit électronique 11 comprenant un oscillateur 12 et un amplificateur 13, lui-même relié à un accumulateur 14, la commande d'émission étant gérée par un bouton-poussoir 15. If we refer to Figures 1, 2 and 5 we can see that an extracorporeal control device comprises a housing 1 containing at one of its ends a transmitting antenna 10, connected to an electronic circuit 11 comprising a oscillator 12 and an amplifier 13, itself connected to an accumulator 14, the emission control being managed by a push button 15.

Si on se réfère aux figures 3 et 4 on peut voir qu'un capteur d'énergie 2 comporte une embase corporelle 20 destinée à l'implantation du capteur d'énergie 2 dans l'organisme, une antenne, ou collecteur d'ondes 21, un condensateur ajustable 22 constituant le dispositif d'accord de l'onde produite par l'émetteur, et un pont redresseur 23 relié par des fils 24 à l'organe artificiel, non représenté. If we refer to Figures 3 and 4 we can see that an energy sensor 2 has a body base 20 for implanting the energy sensor 2 in the body, an antenna, or wave collector 21 , an adjustable capacitor 22 constituting the device for tuning the wave produced by the transmitter, and a rectifier bridge 23 connected by wires 24 to the artificial member, not shown.

Pour activer l'organe artificiel, l'utilisateur approche le boîtier 1 de la peau, de manière que l'antenne d'émission 10 soit à proximité de l'antenne de réception 21, puis appuie sur le bouton 15, en maintenant la pression le temps nécessaire à l'activation. To activate the artificial organ, the user approaches the housing 1 of the skin, so that the transmitting antenna 10 is close to the receiving antenna 21, then presses the button 15, maintaining the pressure the time required for activation.

Les ondes émises à travers la peau par l'antenne 10 et réceptionnées par l'antenne 21 sont transformées en énergie électrique dirigée vers l'organe artificiel. The waves emitted through the skin by the antenna 10 and received by the antenna 21 are transformed into electrical energy directed towards the artificial organ.

Il va de soi que la présente invention ne saurait être limitée à la description qui précède d'un de ses modes de réalisation, susceptible de subir un certain nombre de modifications sans pour autant sortir du cadre de l'invention.  It goes without saying that the present invention cannot be limited to the preceding description of one of its embodiments, capable of undergoing a certain number of modifications without departing from the scope of the invention.
