    Abstract: Adjustable constant force spring systems are disclosed. An adjustable constant-force spring system includes first and second rolled metal strips and a spool. The first strip is rolled around a first axis. The first strip has an inner end adjacent the first axis and an outer end configured for selective attachment to a load. The second strip is rolled around the first axis such that the second strip overlaps the first strip. The second strip has an inner end adjacent the first axis and an outer end configured for selective attachment to the load. The spool is located on a second axis parallel to and spaced from the first axis. The spool is sized to enable the first strip to reroll around the spool.

    Abstract: A lead assembly for providing electrical stimulation of patient tissue includes at least one elongated lead body, each of the at least one lead bodies having a distal end and a proximal end. A plurality of electrodes are disposed at the distal end of the at least one lead body, each of the electrodes having an outer surface. A plurality of dimples are defined along the outer surface of at least one of the plurality of electrodes, the plurality of dimples configured and arranged to provide a larger surface area for the at least one dimpled electrode than that of a similarly-sized electrode with a flat outer surface. A plurality of terminal are disposed at the proximal end of the at least one lead body. A plurality of conductive wires couple each of the plurality of electrodes to at least one of the plurality of terminals.

    Abstract: An implantable enzyme-based monitoring system suitable for long term in vivo use to measure the concentration of prescribed substances such as glucose is provided. In one embodiment, the implantable enzyme-based monitoring system includes at least one sensor assembly, an outer membrane surrounding the sensor assembly and having a window therein, and a polymeric window cover affixed to the outer membrane and covering the window. Preferably, the outer membrane of the monitoring system is silicone and the window cover is a polymer of 2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate (HEMA), N,N,-dimethylaminoethyl methacrylate (DMAEMA) and methacrylic acid (MA). Also provided herein is an implantable enzyme-based monitoring system having at least one sensor assembly, an outer membrane surrounding the sensor assembly and a coating affixed to the exterior surface of the outer membrane, wherein the coating resists blood coagulation and protein binding to the exterior surface of the outer membrane. Preferably, the coating is polyethylene glycol (PEG) and heparin in an 80:20 molar ratio. Finally, provided herein is a method of coating the exterior surface of the outer membrane of an implantable enzyme-based monitoring system comprising the steps of forming hydroxyl groups on the silicone surface by plasma etching; reacting the silicone surface with amino functionalized silane, thereby forming amino groups on the silicone surface; simultaneously, covalently binding polyethylene glycol (PEG) and heparin to the amino groups; and ionically binding heparin to the monitoring system surface.

    Abstract: Polymeric drug conjugates in controlled release matrices are provided which allow sustained concentrations of therapeutic agents within a treated area for a prolonged period. The polymeric drug conjugates hydrolytically degrade in the extracellular space in a controlled, pre-specified pattern, releasing active drug. The conjugates diffuse within the tissue reaching a greater distance from the matrix than free drug would, because of their reduced rate of clearance from the tissue via the capillary system.
