Muhammad Sajid Khan, Jawaid Daudpoto, Amir Ahmed Qazi . Development of Piston Type Shape Memory Alloy Actuated Pump for Drug Delivery. International Journal of Computer Applications. 184, 36 ( Nov 2022), 26-31. DOI=10.5120/ijca2022922460
The supply of drugs is of great importance for healing the disease. The blood sugar level of diabetic personal is required to be repeatedly observed, in accordance with level of sugar insulin be injected to wipe out surplus glucose. Treatment with injections is linked with soreness, contamination, injurious to body ornaments, training of a person to inject required level of drug is not possible. Miniature-pump are finding their rising application in the field of biomedical in particular drug delivery system based on various proposed techniques. Every actuation system for micro pump has their own advantages and disadvantages in terms of voltage applied and rate of flow of drug and algorithm effectiveness and complexity for controlled drug supply. SMA based actuator find their novelty as they required less voltage and provide better flow rate. This research proposes SMA wire actuator based pump for drug delivery system, a novel syringe shaped pump is developed with integration of SMA wires in loop configuration at edges of the syringe. The presented system will be able to discharge prefilled water upon actuation of SMA wire actuators with relatively simple mechanism and can be employed for delivering numerous type of drugs into human body.
