20100016935 | MEDICAL IMPLANTABLE LEAD - A implantable lead an elongate body including a flexible insulating tube, and a tubular conductor layer formed of multiple separate strip conductors, which are arranged at the outer surface of the insulating tube and extend along the length thereof. | 01-21-2010 |
20100037457 | METHOD FOR MANUFACTURING AN ACTIVE FIXATION ELECTRODE - In a method for manufacturing active fixation helices for the stimulation and/or sensing of organs, an elongated helix precursor body is produced that has one or more electrical conductors surrounded by an insulating material. This helix precursor body is then shaped into a helix, material removed in predetermined places in order to expose the areas of the conductors which will be used as electrodes in the final product. The body is coated with an electrically conducting biocompatible coating which is subsequently partly removed in continuous loops from around the electrodes in order to electrically insulate them from each other and to ensure that the electrically active areas of the electrodes are of the correct dimensions. | 02-18-2010 |
20100114279 | MEDICAL IMPLANTABLE LEAD - A medical implantable lead has a proximal end and a distal end, and a flexible flat elongate body. The elongate body includes a layer of strip conductors extending along the length of the flat elongate body, a top insulating layer, and a bottom insulating layer. The layer of strip conductors is sealingly enclosed between the top and bottom insulating layers, and at least a major portion of the flat elongate body is twisted into an elongate helical portion having a central cavity extending longitudinally of the helical portion. | 05-06-2010 |
20100168806 | DEVICE AND METHOD FOR TREATING CARDIAC TISSUE OF A HEART OF A PATIENT WITH THERAPEUTIC LIGHT USING PHOTOBIOMODULATION - For treatment of cardiac tissue of a heart of a patient with therapeutic light using an implantable medical device connectable to at least one medical lead carrying electrodes and at least one fixation element that fixes the lead at a fixation area of the cardiac tissue, therapeutic light is emitted toward the at least one fixation area of cardiac tissue and/or toward a contact area between the at least one electrode and cardiac tissue using an intracorporeal light emitter. | 07-01-2010 |
20120046724 | IMPLANTABLE CARDIAC STIMULATION DRUG RELEASING ELECTRODE - In an implantable cardiac stimulation electrode, an implantable cardiac stimulation lead, and a stimulation delivery method, the electrode body is provided with a matrix metalloproteinase inhibitor or a precursor thereof, in a release structure that allows release of the metalloproteinase inhibitor or precursor thereof from the electrode body into surrounding tissue, after implantation. | 02-23-2012 |
20120121657 | ENHANCING BIOCOMPATIBILITY OF A MEDICAL DEVICE - The present invention relates to a medical device comprising both pyrolytic carbon and an NO generator, methods of making same, and methods of using same. | 05-17-2012 |
20120310275 | SINGLE PIECE, DUAL COMPONENT SEALING PAD AND METHODS - A tissue puncture closure device includes a carrier tube and a sealing plug. The carrier tube includes a distal end configured for insertion into the tissue puncture. The sealing plug is positioned in the carrier tube and arranged for ejection from the distal end of the carrier tube into the tissue puncture. The sealing plug includes a first collagen portion having a first cross-linked chemical structure, and a second collagen portion positioned proximal of the first collagen portion in the carrier tube. The second collagen portion has a second cross-linked chemical structure that is different from the first cross-linked chemical structure. | 12-06-2012 |
