Zusammenfassung: | A skeletal tissue stimulator and especially a bone growth stimulator (10) and a circuit (12) adapted to be coupled to the skeletal tissue in a body, and especially bone tissue in the body, whose growth is to be stimulated, which tissue acts as a load (22) for the circuit (12). The circuit (12) has a battary (24) and an oscillator circuit (26) which is adapted to be coupled to the load (22). The oscillator circuit (26) is coupled to a storage device (28) which is charged from the battery (24) and discharged through the load (22). The storage device (28) controls the state of the oscillator circuit (26) which in turn controls current flow from the battery (24) directly through load (22). The bone growth stimulator (10) and circuit (12) are characterized in that all the current provided by the battery (24) must flow through the load (22), either directly from the oscillator circuit (26) or as a result of discharge from the storage device (28). |
