摘要:
An implantable cardiac stimulator has locking device for a pin-like conductor element of an electrode lead, the locking device having a helical coil which can assume a first, locking position, in which it grips the pin-like conductor element inserted into the coil to prevent longitudinal movement of pin-like conductor element, and a second, release position in which the pin-like conductor element is free to move in and out of the coil in relation to the coil's longitudinal axis. The first position is assumed when the coil is not influenced in its helix diameter increasing direction and the second position being assumed when the coil is influenced in its helix diameter increasing direction. The locking device also has a blocking component which only prevents the coil from rotating in the unwinding direction around its longitudinal axis in the locking device.

The above objects are achieved in accordance with the principles of the present invention in a female connector part for cooperation with an elongated male connector part, the female connector part being intended for use in a pacemaker housing and having a longitudinal bore adapted to receive the male connector part. An element carrying resilient tongues, disposed at a small inward angle, i.e. inward from the opening of the female connector part, relative to a plane orthogonal to the longitudinal axis of the bore. The tongues are movable between a first position at which the respective tips of the tongues can engage the male connector part in the bore, and a second position at which the tips of the tongues do not engage the male connector part in the bore. The female connector part also includes a sleeve which is movable between two positions respectively corresponding to the first and second positions of the tongues. In a first position of the sleeve, the tongues are free to engage the male connector part in the bore, and in a second position of the sleeve, the sleeve is located between the tongues and the male connector part, thereby precluding the tongues from engaging the male connector part.
摘要:
A device for indicating that an electrode cable is correctly connected to a medical implant for emitting electrical pulses, the implant being equipped with a connection part for the electrode cable's proximal end, has a contact for making electrical connection with the proximal end of the electrode cable and an indicator, the contact electrically causing the indicator to emit at least one indication signal which is perceptible outside of the implant when the electrode cable is correctly attached to the implant.
