20110137413 | BREAST IMPLANT - A breast implant ( | 06-09-2011 |
20130158613 | CARDIOVERTERS FOR ELMINATING ATRIAL FIBRILLATION - The invention relates to two independently operating electrical cardioverters, each having an integrated stimulator for heart therapy. The cardioverters and stimulators have two separate final stages, which can deliver shock pulses or stimulation pulses at a time offset from each other, but can also be controlled by the ventricular ECG and synchronized accordingly. | 06-20-2013 |
20130184772 | CENTRAL CONTROL UNIT OF IMPLANTS - The entire electronics of a control system and of implantable passive and active medical implants connected to or cooperating with the control system are integrated in a central control unit (ZSE) which, by way of detachable cables or by telemetry or radio contact, controls and monitors all of the implants that are present and, if appropriate, implants that are fitted subsequently in the patient ( | 07-18-2013 |
20130331832 | ELECTRODE CATHETER DEVICE - An implantable electrode catheter device comprising an inner electrode catheter and an outer electrode catheter. The outer electrode catheter including a catheter shaft having at least one electrode at a distal end and a lumen to receive the inner electrode catheter therein. The outer electrode is adjustable or movable relative to the inner electrode catheter in an axial direction. The inner electrode catheter has a fixation element disposed at a distal end. The inner electrode catheter together with the fixation element forms an indifferent electrode whereby radio frequency catheter ablation occurs between the electrode and the indifferent electrode. | 12-12-2013 |
20130331920 | IMPLANTABLE INDIFFERENT REFERENCE ELECTRODE POLE - An implantable electrode device designed for heart stimulation and/or cardioversion/defibrillation in connection with a pacemaker or a defibrillator. The electrode device comprises a large-surface area indifferent reference electrode pole permanently implanted in the atrial septum and in electrical communication with a pacemaker or defibrillator. The electrode pole is made from biocompatible metal braiding and has a tube like opening. The electrical communication is positioned from the pacemaker/defibrillator via the right atrium of the heart through the indifferent electrode pole into the left atrium via the opening. Thus allowing electrical pulses to be delivered to the electrode pole and stimulating the heart. | 12-12-2013 |

The braiding can include of a plurality of fine threads of a memory metal alloy and wherein at least one face of the braiding is coated by a membrane. The braiding can also include a fixing member positioned at one of the distal and proximal ends of the elastic member and being positioned opposite to the braiding. | 06-12-2014 |
20140194965 | IMPLANTABLE EPICARDIAL ELECTRODE ASSEMBLY - An implantable epicardial electrode assembly comprises electrode poles fixed on the heart having a large surface area and being multipolar and can at the same time be used as sensing and stimulating electrodes, wherein the electrode assembly has the shape of a tennis racket or is circular, elliptical, hexagonal, rectangular, oakleaf-shaped, star-shaped or cloverleaf-shaped and comprises at least two electrode poles which are arranged over a large surface area, and a further electrode arrangement which comprises at least one electrode pole and which is arranged between the large surface area electrode poles and further comprises a fixing element, wherein the defibrillation can take place between the mutually insulated poles of the electrodes, and wherein the stimulation of the heart can take place between one of the electrode poles and a pole of the electrode arrangement. | 07-10-2014 |
20140277319 | BALLOON CATHETER - The invention relates to a multi-pole esophageal electrode catheter that can be used for monitoring, pacing, and cardioversion of atrial fibrillation of the heart, the catheter having a flexible shaft ( | 09-18-2014 |
20140316504 | IMPLANTABLE INDIFFERENT ELECTRODE - The present invention relates to an electrode arrangement, preferably for the temporary Stimulation or defibrillation of the heart, consisting of at least one unipolar electrode (cathode) ( | 10-23-2014 |
20150066125 | TEMPORARILY IMPLANTABLE ELECTRODE ASSEMBLY FOR THE STIMULATION AND INTRACARDIAC CARDIOVERSION/DEFIBRILLATION OF THE HEART FOLLOWING SURGERY - The invention relates to an electrode assembly for temporary cardioversion/defibrillation and/or for temporary stimulation of the heart after open heart surgery consisting of two defibrillation electrodes with at least one indifferent pole each and an elastic section, where each defibrillation electrode in the operating position is positioned on the right and left atrium, which means the defibrillation electrodes together include the right and left atrium. The defibrillation electrodes each distally comprise a fixation member and each proximally end into a protective tube to protect the epicardium. The fixation members are elastic and enable reversible fastening of the defibrillation electrodes in the pericardium on the right and left side. The protective tubes are preferably fed together into a guide tube, where the guide tube is slidable along the longitudinal axis. The stimulation electrodes (different electrode poles) for stimulation of the atria are designed appropriately together with the defibrillation electrode in one piece. | 03-05-2015 |
