An amazing time, this manufacturer plans for an implantable pump that will move ascites to the bladder. What do you think?

Alfapump system, a fully implantable, wirelessly charged pump that collects ascites, or the abnormal buildup of fluid in the abdomen, which can be caused by liver cirrhosis, cancer, heart failure, pancreatitis and other conditions. The pump siphons the fluid from the peritoneal cavity into the bladder, where it can be passed from the body naturally.
