OPTICAL FIBER-FINE WIRE LEAD FOR ELECTROSTIMULATION AND SENSING

摘要

Various aspects of the present disclosure are directed toward an implantable electrostimulation device, a plurality of sensing and pacing elements, and a fine wire lead (35) extending in a sealed relationship from the electrostimulation device and to the plurality of sensing and pacing elements. The fine wire lead includes multiple discrete conductors and a drawn silica or glass fiber core (36), a polymer cladding (33, 37) on the drawn silica or glass fiber core, and a conductive metal cladding (38) over the polymer cladding (33, 37). Additionally, the fine wire lead simultaneously delivers different electrical signals or optical signals between the sensing and pacing elements and the electrostimulation device.
