    摘要: Methods and apparatus for generating an electric field inside a patient include at least a first electrode and a second electrode on a common implantable substrate. Each of the electrodes has a respective proximal end and a respective distal end. Electrical energy can be applied that causes electrical current to flow simultaneously through the first and second electrodes preferentially from the proximal end of one electrode to the distal end of the other electrode.

    摘要: An implantable electrical connector system, which may be used as part of an electrical lead, a connector block on an implantable pulse generator, or the connector of a lead extension. The distal most electrical contact on the proximal end of the lead (or lead extension) is adapted to provide registration or alignment of all of the electrical contacts of the proximal end of the lead (or lead extension) with electrical contacts of the distal connector of a lead extension or the electrical contacts of a connector block of an implantable pulse generator (IPG). In an exemplary embodiment, the distal most electrical contact on the proximal end portion of the lead may have a flange or shoulder that is adapted to engage the distal electrical contact of the female connection section of a lead extension or connector block. Most preferably, in this exemplary embodiment, the flange or shoulder is an integral part of the distal most electrical contact.

    摘要: Electrode structures for implantation include an electrode, an elastic backing attached to the electrode, and a sequestered drug on the backing or the electrode which is released to control and/or limit the growth of scar tissue. The elastic backing includes a tissue contacting side which contacts a tissue structure, and an exposed side away from the tissue contacting side. The electrode structure can be used to activate baroreceptors, and the backing is elastic and can stretch and retract with the tissue structure, for example the carotid sinus. The electrode and the sequestered drug can be positioned on the tissue contacting side so the drug is released near the electrode. The backing can be made from an insulating material and limit diffusion of the drug toward the exposed side, permitting scar tissue to grow near the exposed side to maintain positioning of the electrode.
