摘要
An implantable micturition inducer is disclosed. The device comprises an implantable actuatable signal generator (15) that comprises one or more switches (17) and a power source, and at least one electrical lead (16) having one end connected to the signal generator and the other end adapted to be connected to muscle (14) transected to form a muscle bag around an individual's bladder. Actuation of the switch or switches results in the delivery of a series of stimulus pulses from the signal generator to the muscle bag which are sufficient to cause the muscle bag to contract and thereby induce micturition on demand. Methods for inducing micturition in patients with areflexic bladders of an otherwise diminished capacity to intentionally micturate are disclosed.
