Method of manufacturing a thin film leadless neurostimulator

摘要

The present disclosure describes a medical device to provide neurostimulation therapy to a patient's brain. The device can be surgically implanted and can remain in the patient until end of life. The present disclosure also describes accessories which guide the implantation of the device, and the components that form a leadless stimulator implantation kit.

主权项

1. A method of manufacturing an implantable neurostimulator, the method comprising:
forming a MEMS film comprising a plurality of electrodes and a ribbon cable extending from a distal end of the MEMS film; coupling a stimulation source with a first plurality of contacts, the first plurality of contacts disposed on a first face of the ribbon cable and in electrical communication with at least one of the plurality of electrodes; coupling a power supply with a second plurality of contacts, the second plurality of contacts disposed on a second face of the ribbon cable; folding the ribbon cable toward a face of the MEMS film; and forming, with the MEMS film, a lumen, the ribbon cable disposed within the lumen.
