Efficiency of the les implantable stimulator in animal tests

Abstract

Gastroesophageal reflux disease in recent years is gaining clinical and social significance. One of the new, promising treatment methods is the modulation of the tone of the lower esophageal sphincter using an implantable electrical stimulator. Author has developed and fabricated a prototype of a miniature electrostimulator, rechargeable wireless and with Bluetooth BLE control by Android smartphone. The effectiveness of the manufactured prototype was demonstrated during tests on laboratory animals (pigs).
