    摘要: An implantable coaxial lead includes a cable with male and female connectors. The cable includes inner and outer helical coils separated by an inner insulator tube, with an outer insulator tube surrounding the outer helical coil. The male connector includes an outer conductive cylinder, a conductive pin and an insulator molded in between. For increased strength, a braided cylinder, infused with rubber, is included at the juncture of the male connector and the cable. The female connector includes a cylinder formed by two conducting body elements and an intervening insulating body element. The female connector includes respective conductive tension elements configured to engage the male connector. A first seal is provided between the conductive tension members for electrical isolation and tactile feedback. An insertion tool includes a cylinder with a hollow bore and detachable head, and a rod for pulling the lead through the cylinder.

    摘要: A sensing apparatus with a connector, a sensor lead and a sensor module with a spacer placed over electrodes that have been deposited on a substrate. The spacer may have a space for receiving an enzyme. End portions of the sensor module may be encapsulated, such as with molded beads. A sensor lead may attach to the sensor module and may have an outer tubing that passes over the module and attaches to the beads at the end of the sensor module. The sensor lead may also attach to the connector such that the sensing apparatus may be electrically coupled to a pump, electronics or other devices. The sensing apparatus may be implanted into a vein or artery.
