    摘要: The disclosure describes an implantable medical lead for delivering stimulation to a patient. Electrodes may be located on two or more surfaces of the lead to, for example, selectively deliver stimulation to one or more tissue layers within the patient. The lead may be implanted within or between intra-dermal, deep dermal, or subcutaneous tissue layers, and may be used to, for example, deliver peripheral nerve field stimulation to treat pain experienced by the patient at the site at which the lead is implanted. The lead may comprise a paddle lead or a multiple level lead, e.g., a lead having a plurality of flat or paddle shaped lead bodies arranged in substantially parallel planes. Further, the lead may include fixation structures on the distal end, proximal end, or both ends to prevent migration.

    摘要: Implantable medical devices (IMD) configured for implantation within a recess formed in a cranium of a patient, as well as associated methods, are described. In some embodiments, the IMD includes a top external surface and another adjacent external surface, e.g., a side surface, which are oriented with respect to each other to define an acute angle. A connection module for an electrical lead or catheter may be included on the top external surface. Embodiments of the invention may facilitate implantation of an IMD within a recess formed in the cranium of a patient at a location remote to an incision made in the scalp of the patient.

    摘要: At least one surface (120,126) of an implantable medical device (10,90,100) is concave along at least one axis such that it substantially conforms to a surface within a patient, such as the cranium, when it is implanted on that surface. In some embodiments, the surface of the implantable medical device substantially conforms to an arc with a radius that is between 4.5 and 9.5 centimeters, and is preferably approximately equal to 7 centimeters. The implantable medical device comprises a plurality of interconnected modules (30,32,34), and an overmold (48,92,102) that at least partially encapsulates each of the modules. In such embodiments, at least one surface of the overmold is concave along at least one axis. Further, each of the modules of such an implantable medical device may comprise a housing (36,38,40), and at least one surface of at least one of the housings may be concave along at least one axis.

    摘要: A modular implantable medical device (101, 201, 301, 401, 801, 901, 1001, 1101, 1201, 1301) permits implantable medical devices to have a smaller profile in order to better fit into locations within the human body. A modular implantable medical device separates various functional components of the implantable medical device into a set of interconnected modules (201-212, 410-412, 510, 701-702, 810). This distributed architecture of a modular implantable medical device may permit the device footprint to be distributed over a larger area while making the profile smaller, and may permit the overall shape of the implantable medical device to better match the body location into which it is to be implanted. An overmold (214, 322, 422, 522, 822, 922, 1022, 1122, 1222, 1322) integrates the modules of a modular implantable medical device into a single structure. In some embodiments the overmold is flexible and provides a biocompatible interface from the component modules and the patient, while restraining potentially harmful intermodule motion.

    摘要: An implantable medical device (10, 80, 90, 120, 130, 140, 150, 170, 180) includes a plurality of separately housed and flexibly interconnected modules (30, 32, 34, 172, 182). A first module (30) includes a control electronics within a first housing (36), and may be coupled to a second module (32) that includes a second housing (38) by a flexible interconnect member (44, 46, 174, 184). In some embodiments, an overmold (48, 82, 92, 122, 132, 176, 186), which may be flexible, at least partially encapsulates the first and second housings. The second module may be a power source module that includes a power source, such as a rechargeable battery, within the second housing. The implantable medical device may also include a third module, such as a recharge module that includes a coil within a third housing. The overmold may at lest partially encapsulate the third housing, or the third module may be tethered to the overmold by a flexible tether member (124). A flexible interconnect member and/or flexible overmold may allow multiples degrees of freedom of movement between modules of an implantable medical device.
