摘要:
An electrode device for cardiological or neurological electrodiagnosis and/or electrotherapy comprises an elongated electrode body (12), at least one electrode (14, 16) in the vicinity of the distal end (24) of the electrode body (12), and an electrode conductor (44) for the electrical connection of the electrode (14, 16). The electrode conductor (44) has a fibrous structure (52) with anisotropic conductivity so that the specific conductivity of the electrode conductor (44) is significantly higher in its longitudinal direction than in its transverse direction.

An implantable medical electrode device, in particular a cardiovascular cardiac pacemaker or defibrillator electrode device, comprises an elongate, tubular electrode body (2), a fixing zone (4) in front of the distal end (3) of the electrode body (2), in which the externally closed peripheral envelope (8) of the electrode body (2) is reversibly expandable into a body lumen (27) for detachable fixing of the electrode device (1), and expansion means, situated in the fixing zone (4), for controlling the expansion and contraction in the fixing zone (4).
摘要:
A catheter, in particular for insertion of heart-pacemaker- or ICD-electrodes into a patient's body, comprises a catheter wall and a reinforcement therein for stabilization of the catheter. The reinforcement is a profile element which is adjusted to the desired mechanical properties of the catheter in the axial and peripheral direction thereof.
摘要:
An electrode for interventional purposes, such as a cardiac pacemaker, neurostimulation, or ICD electrode, comprises an elongate electrode body (6), at least one electrode pole (5) in the area of the distal end (4) of the electrode body (6) for delivering an intervention pulse, at least one supply line (7) running in the electrode body (6) to the at least one electrode pole (5), and an electrode sheath (8) for insulating the supply line (7). The first and/or second material is produced in such a way that it contains conductive particles embedded in a polymer matrix in a concentration which is greater than or equal to the percolation threshold.

摘要:
An insertion device (10), by which a medical instrument or an electrode line or a guide wire or a medical therapeutic agent may be inserted into a body cavity, comprises a lumen section (11) manufactured from a flexible plastic material, having a longitudinal axis, a proximal end and a distal end, and a distal end area enclosing the distal end, at least one electrically conductive means (20) in the distal end area to sense physiological signals or stimulate the surrounding body tissue suitably, as well as at least one conductor, which extends from the proximal end to the distal end and is capable of conducting physiological signals to the proximal end and/or stimulation pulses to the distal end. The at least one electrically conductive means is produced from a flexible, not exclusively metallic, electrically conductive substrate.
摘要:
The aim of the invention is to provide an implant for releasing an active substance into a vessel through which a body medium flows. This aim is achieved by the inventive implant for releasing an active substance into a vessel through which a body medium flows. Said implant comprises a base that consists of a biodegradable material as the carrier of the active substance to be released. The body medium flows around said base on the inside and/or outside thereof.
摘要:
A personal health monitoring and care system includes at least one diagnostic device (2) implanted in a person (1), a data communication device (4) associated to the diagnostic device (2) for communicating relevant personal health data collected by the diagnostic device (2) to an external data information retrieval device (5), which processes and presents said relevant personal health data to the person (1) via information output means (6), wherein the person (1) according to the relevant personal health data perceived from the information output means (6) is able to start a health relevant action.
