Urination, defecation and erection control system in neuropathy patients.

Abstract

[ES]The invention relates to a system for controlling incontinence, urination, defecation and erection in neuropathy patients by electric stimulation of the sacral roots. The system is based on an implantable stimulator powered by a battery and controlled by a microprocessor. It is programmed by means of a PC with the purpose of defining different operating modes, Said device is called programmer . Programs may be activated from the programmer or by using a compact portable apparatus called command . Said command makes it possible for the patient to start or stop execution of any of the programs that were previously loaded by the doctor. Communication of the stimulator with the programmer and the command is carried out by telemetry. Furthermore, deactivation of a running program can be brought about by the presence of a magnet. [ES]La invención se refiere a un sistema para controlar la incontinencia, micción, defecación y erección en pacientes con neuropatía por la estimulación eléctrica de las raíces sacras. El sistema se basa en un estimulador implantable alimentado por una batería y controlado por un microprocesador. Se programa por medio de un PC con el fin de definir diferentes modos de funcionamiento, Dicho dispositivo se llama programador. Los programas pueden ser activados desde el programador o mediante un comando compacto aparato llamado portátil. Dicho comando permite que el paciente para iniciar o detener la ejecución de cualquiera de los programas que se cargan previamente por el médico. Comunicación del estimulador con el programador y el comando se lleva a cabo por telemetría. Además, la desactivación de un programa en ejecución puede ser provocada por la presencia de un imán.
