| 607121000 | With nonpolarizing, impedance matching, or antithrombogenic electrode material | 6 |
| 20090069877 | ELECTRODE DEVICE FOR PHYSIOLOGICAL USE, IN PARTICULAR IN CARDIOLOGY - An electrode device for physiological use, in particular in cardiology, that has an electrically insulating, elastic electrode body which, between internal and external layers ( | 03-12-2009 |
| 20090076576 | MEDICAL DEVICE HAVING A GLASS COATING AND METHOD THEREFOR - A medical device having at least one glass coating between a first and second component. The glass coating forms a portion of a strong, hydrothermally stable joint between components or provides insulation, or tailors an impedance and/or capacitance of an electrode. | 03-19-2009 |
| 20090099634 | CONDUCTIVE COMPOSITE ELECTRODE MATERIAL - A medical electrical lead and body implantable electrode suitable for a variety of medical applications are disclosed. In general, the electrode includes a composite material having particles of pseudo-capacitive material, such as iridium oxide, dispersed within a polymer matrix including a polyelectrolyte. The polymer matrix can also include a conductive polymer doped with an excess of the polyelectrolyte. The composite may used to form the electrode itself or an electrode coating. The presence of a pseudo-capacitive material within the composite may increase the charge-storage capacity of the electrode and may allow for safe deliveries of charge densities within an electrochemical window suitable for pacing a patient's heart. | 04-16-2009 |
| 20100114285 | LEAD ASSEMBLY WITH POROUS POLYETHYLENE COVER - This document discusses, among other things, a lead assembly including a porous polyethylene cover. In an example, the cover includes sections that have differing pore sizes. In an example, a section of the cover near a distal end portion of a lead assembly includes pores that are large enough to allow tissue ingrowth. In another example, a lead assembly includes two or more polyethylene covers having different porosities. | 05-06-2010 |
| 20100324643 | Medical Devices Incorporating Carbon Nanotube Material and Methods of Fabricating Same - The present invention relates generally to medical devices; in particular and without limitation, to unique electrodes and/or electrical lead assemblies for stimulating cardiac tissue, muscle tissue, neurological tissue, brain tissue and/or organ tissue; to electrophysiology mapping and ablation catheters for monitoring and selectively altering physiologic conduction pathways; and, wherein said electrodes, lead assemblies and catheters optionally include fluid irrigation conduit(s) for providing therapeutic and/or performance enhancing materials to adjacent biological tissue, and wherein each said device is coupled to or incorporates nanotube structures or materials therein. The present invention also provides methods for fabricating, deploying, and operating such medical devices. | 12-23-2010 |
| 20120089214 | LEFT HEART IMPLANTABLE CARDIAC STIMULATION SYSTEM WITH CLOT PREVENTION ELECTRODE BODY COATING AND METHOD - An implantable cardiac stimulation device provides stimulation therapy from within the left ventricle of a heart. The device includes a pulse generator adapted to be coupled to an implantable cardiac stimulation electrode and a power supply that provides the stimulation electrode with a positive voltage. The positive voltage promotes coating of the electrode through a body coating process. The coating serves to repel formation of clots on the electrode. | 04-12-2012 |
