Celtro Is Making Medical Implants Battery-Free Using Cadence Tools
The battery in a pacemaker occupies approximately 60 to 80% of its space, which limits the device’s placement within the heart. Celtro is looking to remove the battery from the system altogether. By combining medtech and semiconductors, Celtro technology collects electrical energy from the human body’s biological cells. To make this happen, the company has […]
Peer Reviewed Article in Heart Rhythm Journal published by Elesevier
Bioelectric energy harvesting from myocardial tissue is feasible and will be able to supply the energy to operate autonomous miniaturized pacemakers in the future. CELTRO is working to accelerate this path with focussed R&D *) in this domain. The R&D-Team in CELTRO and its partners have shown that bioelectric energy can be harvested though our […]

Energy generation from biological cells
Semiconductors are the basis of modern medical devices such as pacemakers, biosensors, and hearing aids. Today, technology advancements have reduced power consumption of chips to the extent that the energy supply of such systems can be powered by body’s own cell energy. Battery depletion, device replacement, replacement operations and charging stations will become obsolete in the future.
Energiegewinnung aus biologischen Zellen
Halbleiterelektronik ist die fundamentale Grundlage moderner Medizinprodukte wie Herzschrittmacher, Biosensoren oder Hörhilfen. Heute ist der Zeitpunkt gekommen, die Energie-Versorgung derartiger Systeme autark aus körpereigener Zellenergie zu erzeugen. Batterieerschöpfung, Gerätewechsel, Austausch-Operationen und Ladestationen würden damit überflüssig werden.
