Design of moving-actuator total artificial heart (Korean Heart)

  • Conference paper
Artificial Heart 3

Summary

A new version of the moving-actuator electromechanical total artificial heart was designed, to improve total efficiency, durability, and fit inside the thoracic cavity. In contrast to our previous model, with the rolling cylinder actuator, this new model has a pendulum-type actuator with reciprocating motion around a fixed circular path, connected through the gear mechanisms to the motor. By using this mechanism, the efficiency and durability could be improved by replacing the sliding mechanism with rolling contact elements. Also, the height of the pump could be decreased from 9 cm to 7 cm, with a static stroke volume of 65 cc. With this pump, we have performed two animal experiments.
