Abstract

In this paper, simulation data and heat generation due to electromagnetic from spiral planar pair of coils for arti-ficial retinal implant were analyzed by COMSOL Multiphysics. Planar spiral outer and inner coils for an implantable artificial retina were designed and analyzed. The whole geometry was designed in a transplant situation. The parameters of the coil were set within the design limits due to the limitations of im-plant space. The inductance for the coil and the thermal change due to the electromagnetic force generated in the inductively coupled coil were calculated. Analysis of heat transfer in a biological model showed that the maximum heat did not exceed the internal tissue damage temperature. The results showed that a pair of coils designed for artificial retinas can be implanted in vivo without destruction of body tissues.
