| 20120130462 | Implantable Lead Comprising an Elongate Lead Body - An implantable lead including an elongate lead body and a functional lead which extends in the longitudinal direction of the lead body and enables the implementation of a medical function of the lead, wherein, in addition to the functional lead and insulated therefrom, a plurality of inductive resistance circuit elements are embedded in the lead body, which reduce a coupling of the functional lead with an external alternating magnetic field or dampen the transmission of electrical high-frequency energy along the lead. | 05-24-2012 |
| 20120130209 | Implantable Sensor Unit - A sensor unit functionally stable in an implant, for performing qualitative and/or quantitative in vivo determination of an analyte, including a connection area ( | 05-24-2012 |
| 20120103653 | Implantable Lead Having an Elongated Lead Body - An implantable lead having an elongated lead body and a function conductor extending in the longitudinal direction of the conductor body, the function conductor being provided to implement a medical function of the lead, wherein in addition to the function conductor, a field decoupling conductor loop is provided, which reduces coupling of the function conductor to the outside alternating magnetic field by generating an induction field that is in the opposite direction of an outside magnetic field. | 05-03-2012 |
| 20120078342 | POSITIONING CATHETERS USING IMPEDANCE MEASUREMENT - The invention relates to a method for determining the position of a catheter in a blood vessel relative to a change in the vascular cross section, comprising the steps: providing a catheter that includes at least two electrodes which can be brought into electrically conductive contact with the surrounding blood while the catheter is being positioned in the blood vessel, wherein the two electrodes are installed on the catheter along the longitudinal axis at a defined distance from each other; advancing the catheter in the vessel to be treated, toward the change in the vascular cross section; and measuring the impedance across the two electrodes while the catheter is being advanced; and to a catheter for use in a method of this type. | 03-29-2012 |
| 20120028512 | Electrode Connection, in Particular for an Electrode Catheter - An electrode connection for an electrode catheter including an electrode, a line for electrical signals configured as a coil having an electrode end connected to the electrode, and a fixation device for the electrode end of the coil on the electrode, wherein the fixation device includes an inner sleeve, on which the electrode end of the coil sits, and a squeeze ring, which acts upon the electrode end of the coil, establishing an electrical contact with the electrode and mechanical clamping on the inner sleeve. | 02-02-2012 |
| 20120022624 | Electrode Lead for Medical Use, Insulating Tube and Method for Producing the Same - An insulating tube for an electrode lead for medical use, particularly a cardiac pacemaker electrode lead, defibrillator electrode lead, electrode lead for nerve stimulation or the like, including a base material made of at least one material of the group consisting of silicones, polyurethanes, polyimide, PTFE, ETFE, and copolymers made of silicones and polyurethanes. In order to improve the functionality of such an insulating tube during friction of the tube with friction partners, at least in one volume region, which preferably forms the lateral surface of the insulating tube, the tube, in addition to the base material, includes a fibrous and/or particulate filler material having a higher abrasion resistance than the respective base material. A corresponding electrode lead is also provided, and a simple and cost-effective method for producing such an insulating tube and such an electrode lead. | 01-26-2012 |
| 20110235239 | Electrical Feedthrough of a Capacitor for Medical Implants and Method for the Production and Use Thereof - A feedthrough of an electrolyte or other capacitor, in particular for use in a medical-electronic implant, is provided having a terminal pin which has a section which can be soft soldered at least in the interior of the electrolyte capacitor, an aluminum flange enclosing the terminal pin, and a glass solder plug which hermetically seals the terminal pin in relation to the aluminum flange. | 09-29-2011 |
| 20110232962 | Electrical Feedthrough, Method for the Production and Use Thereof - A feedthrough, in particular for use in a medical-electronic implant, is provided having a terminal pin which has a section which can be soft soldered at least in the interior of the implant, a flange enclosing the terminal pin, and a glass solder plug which hermetically seals the terminal pin in relation to the flange. | 09-29-2011 |
| 20110232961 | Electrical Feedthrough, in Particular for Medical Implants - An electrical feedthrough, in particular for use in an electro-medical implant, having a flange enclosing at least one feedthrough bushing and at least one terminal pin enclosed by the at least one feedthrough bushing, the terminal pin having at least one section which can be joined at a lower energy in the interior of the implant. | 09-29-2011 |
| 20110172756 | Apparatus For Medical Applications - The present invention relates to an apparatus for medical applications. The apparatus includes an oblong conductive element having a distal end. A resistance element is disposed in the vicinity of the distal end. The resistance element changes the resistance thereof as a function of a temperature and/or an electromagnetic field. To this end, the resistance element is designed to reduce a temperature rise of the distal end caused by energy absorption from, for example, an electromagnetic field. | 07-14-2011 |
