5.3.3Medical devices Currently most of the implantedmedical devicesand sensors are operated by imbeddedbattery.WPTtechnology lessens the need of imbedded power source and hard-wire power network to make the operation of these medical devices autonomous. For powering up theimplanted medical devices, lik...
Systems, devices and methods allow inductive recharging of a power source located within or coupled to an implantable medical device while the device is implanted in a patient. The recharging system/device in some examples includes a first electrical coil and a second electrical coil configured to ...
As can be seen from Table 7, the medical devices containing a permanent hydrophilic bottom layer of the Examples 1 to 5 have a significantly better residence time in tissues than Comparative Example 1. It can be learned that the drug-loaded implantable medical device of the present disclosure i...
which may be programmable. However, those of skill in the art will be readily able to adapt the teachings found herein to other implantable medical devices. It will also be understood by those of skill in the art that the telemetry format...

presented a ‘plug-and-play’ system that allowed a clinical trial participant living with ALS to issue commands to external devices, such as a communication board, by using speech as a control mechanism28. In related work, BCIs based on non-invasive modalities, such as electroencephalography...
We propose that biocompatibility of contemporary medical implants is not a property of the chemical composition of the biomaterials but depends rather on their physical attributes. The histological reaction patterns of tissue to the presence of polyethylene in diverse physical states are described. The ...
(e.g., implantable component201) across various orientations of a recipient's head while resting on the pillow302. For example, while typical external components for implantable medical devices are fixed (e.g., via a magnet) in a particular orientation in close proximity to the medical device...
A transvenously implantable medical device (TIMD) includes an electrical lead and a control module. The electrical lead includes one or more electrodes and is adapted for transvenous implantation. The
The medical ethics committee of the UMC Utrecht approved this study (Utrecht NeuroProsthesis; ClinicalTrials.gov: NCT02224469, registration date: 25/08/2014) which was carried out in accordance with the Declaration of Helsinki (2013). Participants gave informed consent through a procedure dedicated ...
