Electrical stimulator line protector

摘要

An electrical stimulator line protector, comprising a case having an upper surface and a lower surface, the case configured for implantation in the scalp or other subcutaneous areas of a patient; a storage slot disposed between the upper surface and the lower surface of the case, the slot configured to allow at least one electrical line to coil therearound, the upper surface, the lower surface and the slot to thereby shield the line.

主权项

1. An electrical stimulator line protector, comprising:
a case having an upper surface, an intermediate surface and a lower surface, the case configured for implantation in a scalp or other subcutaneous areas exterior to a patient's skull; an entry port configured to allow at least one electric line to enter the case, the entry port configured to allow the at least one electrical line to electrically interconnect with an external energy source; a storage slot disposed between the upper surface and the lower surface of the case, the storage slot configured to allow the at least one electrical line to pass therethrough the electrical stimulator line protector and also configured to store an excess length of the at least one electrical line so that if the at least one electrical line is exposed to a magnetic field, any electrical current generated is non-damaging to the patient; a mouth configured to allow the at least one electrical line to exit the electrical stimulator line protector, the mouth configured to allow the at least one electrical line to electrically interconnect with an electrode located proximate an anatomic site in the patient's brain.
