Abstract: A lead adapter for a patient treatment system comprises a housing having a plurality of inlets, each inlet being segregated from an immediately adjacent inlet by a housing intermediate wall. A plurality of electrical contact assemblies residing in the housing are electrically connected to a respective one of a plurality of electrical contact posts. Each contact post has an exposed terminal portion residing in one of the plurality of inlets. A header is movably secured to the housing to selectively open and close the housing. With the header in an open position, an implantable lead is movable into a longitudinally extending opening in the header. The header is then manipulatable into a closed position to move an electrical contact of the lead into contact with a respective one of the electrical contact assemblies electrically connected to a respective one of the electrical contact posts. That way, the electrical contacts of the implantable lead are in electrical continuity with an exposed terminal portion of a respective one of the electrical contact posts.

Abstract: A device that is implantable in body tissue of a human or animal. The device is comprised of a header comprising at least one terminal adapted for removable connection to a lead and an open ended case closed by a plate to form a housing. The housing is comprised of a surrounding edge wall joined to a first side wall and a second side wall opposed to the first side wall. At least a first suture port extends through the edge wall and the second side wall but not the first side wall at an upper edge region of the housing. A second suture port may extend through the surrounding edge wall and the second side wall but not the first side wall in a similar manner. A third suture port may extend through the header. The three suture ports may define a triangular attachment configuration.

Abstract: A cable assembly for a patient treatment system comprises an electrical cable having a proximal connector configured to connect to an external electrical stimulator device and a distal connector including a distal housing having an open distal end. The distal housing houses a manifold that supports a plurality of spring-loaded electrical contact assemblies aligned in two rows and being electrically connected to a corresponding one of a plurality of electrical contacts in the proximal connector. The housing distal open end is closed by a header that is movable between a closed position resting on the housing open end and an open position spaced there above. The header has a pair of side-by-side longitudinally extending openings. With the header in the open position, a practitioner holds the distal connector in one hand and with the other hand inserts the distal electrical contacts of one or two therapy delivery devices into the longitudinally extending openings. The practitioner then moves the header into the closed position to bring the distal electrical contacts of the therapy delivery devices into firm electrical contact with the spring-loaded electrical contact assemblies housed inside the distal housing.

Abstract: A medical tray that is useful for containing an implantable medical device is a body cavity is described. The medical tray is particularly useful in a craniometry and comprises a ceramic insert joined to a metallic main tray. The main tray comprises a base plate extending to an upstanding main sidewall. An inlet extends inwardly through the main sidewall and into the base plate with the inlet having an inlet peripheral edge. The ceramic insert comprises a planar plate portion extending to an upstanding insert sidewall. The insert has an insert peripheral edge having an insert shape that is conformal with an inlet shape of the inlet peripheral edge. A metallization is supported on the insert peripheral edge and a braze joins the metallization supported on the insert peripheral edge to the inlet peripheral edge.

Abstract: In various examples, an audible frequency generating system for use in an implantable device including a housing of the implantable device. The housing includes at least one wall formed to at least partially surround an interior of the housing. A frequency generator is configured to produce an audible sound within the interior of the housing. At least one conductor is electrically coupled to the frequency generator. A fastening element secures the conductor to the at least one wall of the housing, wherein the frequency generator is constrained within the housing by the at least one conductor secured to the at least one wall of the housing, such that the frequency generator includes a floating configuration relative to the housing.

Abstract: In various examples, a connector for an implantable medical device is configured to accept a lead therein and electrically couple to a lead contact of the lead. The connector includes a connector housing, which includes a bore portion including a bore hole therethrough. The bore hole includes a bore hole axis, the bore hole being sized and shaped to accept the lead within the bore hole. An attachment portion is coupled to the bore portion. The attachment portion includes an attachment hole within the attachment portion sized and shaped to accept a feedthrough wire within the attachment hole. The attachment hole includes an attachment hole axis offset from and non-parallel to the bore hole axis.

Abstract: In various examples, a header of an implantable device includes a first header portion and a second header portion at least partially disengageable from the first header portion. In a closed configuration, the first header portion is fully engaged with the second header portion, and in an open configuration, the first header portion is at least partially disengaged from the second header portion. At least one bore within the header is sized and shaped to accommodate a proximal end of a lead. The bore is split substantially longitudinally to form a first bore portion and a second bore portion. With the proximal end of the lead disposed within the bore and a positioning feature interacting with a lead feature, at least one lead contact aligns with at least one header contact to allow the at least one lead contact to electrically couple to the at least one header contact.
