    摘要: A cardiac pacemaker or other CRT device has one or more fine wire leads to the heart. Formed of a glass, silica, sapphire or crystalline quartz fiber with a metal coating, a unipolar lead can have an outer diameter as small as about 300 microns or even smaller. The metal buffer coating may be deposited directly on the glass/silica fiber, or upon an intermediate layer between the glass/silica fiber and metal, consisting of carbon and/or polymer. The resulting metallized glass/silica fibers are extremely durable, can be bent through small radii and will not fatigue even from millions of iterations of flexing. Bipolar fine wire leads can include several insulated metallized glass/silica fibers residing side by side, or can be coaxial with two or more insulated metal conductive paths. An outer protective sheath of a flexible polymer material can be included. The fine wire lead incorporates a thin metal conductor, which poses unique challenges for attachment to standardized connectors, as well as stimulation electrodes. The present invention describes means and materials for creating robust and durable electrically conductive connections between the fine wire lead body and a proximal standardized connector and distal ring and tip electrodes.

    摘要: A cardiac pacemaker, other CRT device or neurostimulator has one or more fine wire leads. Formed of a glass, silica, sapphire or crystalline quartz fiber with a metal buffer cladding, a unipolar lead can have an outer diameter as small as about 300 microns or even smaller. The buffered fibers are extremely durable, can be bent through small radii and will not fatigue even from millions of iterations of flexing. Bipolar leads can include several conductors side by side within a glass/silica fiber, or can be concentric metal coatings in a structure including several fiber layers. An outer protective sheath of a flexible polymer material can be included.

    摘要: A method of treating pelvic organ prolapse is provided. The method generally includes the steps of establishing a first pathway between the external perirectal region of the patient to the region of the ischial spine in tissue on one side of the prolapsed organ, followed by establishing a second pathway in tissue on the contralateral side of the prolapsed organ. A support member, which includes a central support portion and two end portions, is positioned in a position to reposition said prolapsed organ in said organ's anatomically correct location. The end portions of the support member are introduced through the respective tissue pathways, followed by adjustment of the end portions so that the support member is located in a therapeutic relationship to the prolapsed organ that is to be supported. An apparatus and kit for said treatment is further provided.
