A medical device (10) incorporating magnetic material is introduced into the body of a patient (30). A pulse magnetic field source (40) is disposed next to the patient's body whereby a time varying magnetic field is generated externally of the patient's body, and which is of sufficient strength to magnetically induce motion in the device, thereby causing the medical device to vibrate within the patient's body. The frequency, and amplitude of the magnetic field oscillations can be continuously varied to control the vibrations induced in the medical device.
L'invention concerne un dispositif médical (10) renfermant un matériau magnétique, que l'on introduit dans le corps d'un patient (30). Une source de champ magnétique pulsé (40) placée à proximité du corps du patient permet d'engendrer à l'extérieur du corps de ce patient un champ magnétique variable dans le temps, selon une intensité suffisante pour induire magnétiquement un mouvement dans le dispositif, moyennant quoi on fait vibrer le dispositif à l'intérieur du corps du patient. La fréquence et l'amplitude des oscillations du champ magnétique peuvent être variées en permanence, ce qui permet de contrôler les vibrations induites dans le dispositif médical.
