영문 초록

  An implantable urination assist system is proposed, which could help patients with neuropathic bladder to regain self-urination ability. The proposed system assists the urination by directly pushing the bladder of the patient using Shape Memory Alloys(SMA). Peltier elements are used to control the temperature of the SMA in the system. The effectiveness of the proposed system was evaluated by experimental tests with a bladder model.
