Adaptive Transcutaneous Power Transfer to Implantable Devices: A State of the Art Review

Abstract: Wireless energy transfer is a broad research area that has recently become applicable to implantable medical devices. Wireless powering of and communication with implanted devices is possible through wireless transcutaneous energy transfer. However, designing wireless transcutaneous systems is complicated due to the variability of the environment. The focus of this review is on strategies to sense and adapt to environmental variations in wireless transcutaneous systems. Adaptive systems provide the ability to … Show more

“…In comparison with other energy‐harvesting methods, wireless power transfer (WPT) prevents damage to human tissue and eliminates the risk of infection, as there are no wires running through the skin or other autologous tissues . As a nonradiative method, WPT is based on inductive power transfer between coils, where energy is transmitted through magnetic fields.…”

“…We can however look into current work that is focusing in the alleviation of VAD complications and is promising to become clinical practice in foreseeable future. One of these is contactless energy transfer that is combined with subcutaneous implantable batteries allowing transcutaneous energy transfer (TET) and avoid the driveline passing through the skin eliminating the 'Achilles' heel' of MCS Systems [23].…”

“…Since then, there has been a renewed interest in power without wires [44] , significant progress in mid-range wireless power transfer [45] , and key developments in the combination of data and power transfer [46] . Numerous specific wireless power transfer systems have emerged for applications in automotive [47] , consumer electronics [48] and charging of implanted devices [49] . A thorough analysis of wireless power transfer, its history, techniques, standards and applications is provided in the literature [50] .…”
