Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide improvements to an implant, a system and a method using a passive electrical conductor which routes an electrical current to either an external device or an implanted electrical device, to multiple target body tissues, and to selective target body tissues.SOLUTION: The passive electrical conductor extends from subcutaneous tissue located below either a surface cathodic electrode or a surface anodic electrode: (a) to the target tissues in order to route an electrical signal from the target body tissues to the device outside the body; (b) to the device in order to deliver the electrical current to the implanted electrical device; or (c) to the multiple target body tissues or to the selective target body tissues in order to stimulate the target body tissues. The conductor has specialized ends thereof for achieving such purposes.
Abstract:
Abstract The present invention provides improvements to an implant, system and method using passive electrical conductors which route electrical current to either external or implanted electrical devices, to multiple target body tissues and to selective target body 5 tissues. The passive electrical conductor extends from subcutaneous tissue located below either a surface cathodic electrode or o a surface anodic electrode a) to a target tissue to route electrical signals from the target body tissue to devices external to the body; b) to implanted electrical devices to deliver electrical current to such devices, or c) to multiple target body tissues or to selective target body tissues to stimulate the target 10 body tissues. The conductor has specialized ends for achieving such purposes. Fig. 2 46a 46b. GENG1 42 142 ENG2 42 : \, 0 N24 2 02 22 0a 10 24a-- 24b Jo26 26 48a \ ~ - 30c 4,gb -. 24c 24a24b-, 48c 28d 28b 26c 12
