Abstract

Sistema de telealimentación fotovoltaica a través de fibra óptica para dispositivos médicos implantables. Sistema de suministro energético para dispositivos médicos implantables. El aporte energético se realiza mediante la electricidad generada por un convertidor fotovoltaico que transforma la luz que llega, a través de la fibra óptica, desde zonas externas al sujeto. Esto permite el funcionamiento permanente de los dispositivos implantados y posibilita el desarrollo de futuros dispositivos de elevado consumo al eliminarse las limitaciones energéticas que caracterizan las baterías actuales. El sistema consta de una fuente de luz (1) externa al cuerpo del paciente, una fibra óptica (3) que se extiende desde un punto superficial del paciente hasta el dispositivo implantable (4) y un convertidor fotovoltaico (5) situado en el interior del dispositivo y al cual llega la fibra óptica. Finalmente, una etapa acondicionadora (6) se encarga de adecuar la potencia eléctrica generada por eleconvertidor fotovoltaico a las necesidades del resto de los componentes (7) del dispositivo implantable.
