    摘要: Exemplary implantable stimulators for stimulating a stimulation site within a patient include an electronic module configured to generate stimulation and a housing configured to house the electronic module. The housing has a shape allowing the a stimulator and a surgical device to be accommodated together within an insertion tool used to insert the stimulator into the patient. Exemplary methods of stimulating a stimulation site within a patient include generating stimulation with an electronic module and housing the electronic module in a housing. The housing has a shape allowing the housing and a surgical device to be accommodated together within an insertion tool used to insert the housing into the patient.

    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: Exemplary systems for treating a patient with multiple stimulation therapies include a stimulator configured to automatically apply two or more stimulation signals to a stimulation site via a single channel. Each of the stimulation signals is defined by a distinct set of stimulation parameters. Exemplary methods of treating a patient with multiple stimulation therapies include defining two or more stimulation signals with two or more sets of stimulation parameters and applying the stimulation signals via a single channel to a stimulation site with a stimulator.

    摘要: A stimulator includes an implantable pulse generator comprising circuit elements, a first power source, such as an ultracapacitor, that provides operating power for the circuit elements of the pulse generator. The pulse generator can also have a memory associated therewith, such as a volatile memory for storing programming data. A second power source that has higher voltage retention than the first power source can also be included. The second power source can be dedicated to the volatile memory and can provide operating power for the volatile memory.
