Specifically, the proposed IPMNC based device will provide entirely electrically-controllable and micro-processor-controlled multi-fingered resilient sphinctering heart compression devices that can be implanted inside the rib cage of a patient with weak heart and will gently squeeze the weak heart to enhance blood circulation and assist the weak heart. Other configurations are depicted in Figures 7.15 and 7.16. [Pg.151]

Therefore, based on the background technologies and their successes and failures in treating weak hearts, it is highly desirable to develop a soft heart compression device for patients with CHF problems. In this connection, ionic polymer-metal composites as soft biomimetic sensors, actuators and artificial muscles present a tremendous opportunity. [Pg.157]
