Abstract

A programmable memory-content readable urinary incontinence stimulator with very low power dissipation is presented in the paper. To keep the stimulated nerve from getting used to a fixed pattern of stimulation, the spaces in the stimulating pulse stream are randomly modulated. An important feature of this stimulator is its very low power dissipation, about 20 μA in normal operation. This assures that the implant can work up to 10 years with a 3AH lithium cell.
