    摘要: In general, the invention is directed to strategies pertaining to implantation of an implantable medical device between a scalp and a skull of the patient. The invention pertains to collection of data such as data pertaining to the skull of the patient, the scalp of the patient, the vascular structure or neurological structures in the head of the patient, and the like. The data may be in the form of images, such as images generated by X-ray, magnetic resonance imaging, CT-scan and fluoroscopy. A surgeon can use the collected data to determine, for example, whether the patient is a candidate for a cranial implantation, whether the patient's skull and scalp can support the implantation, what configuration of device should be implanted, where the device should be implanted, and how the surgical incisions should be made.

    摘要: A modular implantable medical device permits implantable medical devices to have a smaller profile in order to better fit into locations within the human body. A modular implantable medical device separates various functional components of the implantable medical device into a set of interconnected modules. This distributed architecture of a modular implantable medical device may permit the device footprint to be distributed over a larger area while making the profile smaller, and may permit the overall shape of the implantable medical device to better match the body location into which it is to be implanted. An overmold integrates the modules of a modular implantable medical device into a single structure. In some embodiments the overmold is flexible and provides a biocompatible interface from the component modules and the patient, while restraining potentially harmful intermodule motion.

    摘要: In general, the invention is directed to techniques for implantation of a low-profile implantable medical device (IMD) in the body of a patient. In an exemplary embodiment, the low-profile IMD is implanted under the scalp. When the treatment or monitoring site is in or on the head of the patient, the low-profile IMD can be implanted under the scalp proximate to the treatment or monitoring site. In one embodiment, the invention is directed to a method that includes making an incision in the scalp of a head of a patient to create a scalp flap, exposing a skull beneath the scalp flap, creating a pocket between the scalp and the skull, and placing at least a portion of a low-profile IMD in the pocket. The low-profile IMD may include a plurality of modules, covered in part by a flexible overmold.
