ABSTRACT

Gout Arthritis is an articular disease caused by crystallization of monosodium urate (MSU) as the derivate of purine metabolism. The crystal formation is induced by the articular limb temperature which is lower than body temperature. Nowadays, thermotherapy has been performed by using temporary warmed substance, like the warmed water compress which contributes to patient's activity disruption. Cirofomite has been made as implanted thermotherapy device by producing heat around the ankle joint. The implanted part of this device can be controlled from smartphone by bluetooth connection and the power of the device can be recharged using a wireless charger. The design of Cirofomite has created by the following anatomical form of leg and ankle joint. This device is placed subcutaneously and implanted through two incisions, the first is on leg and the second close to medial malleolus. The silicone rubber coat used by this device aims to enhance flexibility and avoid body rejection. This device is designed to prevent the disruption of patient's activities when it has been used.
