    摘要: An implantable stimulator includes a base, two prongs extending from the base and an electrode disposed on each of the prongs. This stimulator may be part of a system that includes an external device for transcutaneously communicating with the implanted stimulator. A method of using the implantable stimulator includes generating a current gradient between the electrodes on the two prongs to stimulate a target site in a patient. A method of making the implantable stimulator includes coating electrode material on the prongs except where the electrode surfaces are to be formed.

    摘要: Apparatus and methods for delivering stents or stent segments to body lumens include one or more tubular prostheses carried at the distal end of a catheter shaft, a sheath slidably disposed over the prostheses, and a guidewire tube extending from within the sheath to the exterior of the sheath through an exit port in a sidewall thereof. A guidewire extends slidably through the guidewire tube. The sheath can be moved relative to the catheter shaft and the guidewire tube to expose the prostheses for deployment. Mechanisms are described for measuring the distance that the sheath is moved relative to the catheter shaft and/or the guidewire tube, or for counting the number of stents exposed and/or deployed by operation of the device. These mechanisms include optical counting mechanisms, inductive, resistive, and/or magnetic resonating counters, electrical contact counters, and mechanical counters.
