N2 - Specifications for an updated implantable stimulator, to restore voluntary bladder and bowel voiding, some sexual functions, isometric leg muscle exercise and cycling, are presented in this paper. The stimulation system is composed of a subcutaneous implantable stimulator and an external controller. This implant is based on previous work by the Implanted Devices Group (IDG) of University College London, mainly the SARSI and LARSI implant systems. Using up-to-date technology we are working to make the device smaller and, cheaper while ensuring its reliability. The work involves the design of a hermetic (water proof) package in ceramic technology, a custom integrated circuit for the implant, as well as an external control box with a user-friendly interface.
