Implantable element and electronic implant

摘要

Implantable element having an elongate main body, a functional conductor which extends in the longitudinal direction of the main body or forms it, and which acts to implement a medical function of the element and has an inductive section, and magnetic flux generation means for generating a magnetic flux in the surroundings of the functional conductor, in particular of its inductive section, which are magnetically coupled to the functional conductor in such a way that the magnetic flux generated upon a current flux through the functional conductor is counteracted and the current flux density through the functional conductor is thus reduced.

1. An implantable element configured to implement a medical function comprising:
a main body that is elongated; a functional conductor which extends in a longitudinal direction of the main body in which the functional conductor and main body are separate elements, or form said main body in which the functional conductor and main body are a single element, and which comprises
an inductive section that comprises
a magnetic flux generation element configured to generate a magnetic flux, andan insertion or attachment element configured to accept said magnetic flux generation element surrounding the functional conductor or proximally to said inductive section; and,wherein said magnetic flux generation element is magnetically coupled to the functional conductor such that the magnetic flux generated upon a current flux through the functional conductor is counteracted and a current flux density through the functional conductor is thus reduced;wherein said magnetic flux generation element comprises multiple sections configured to various frequencies of an external field, and adapted separately to different frequencies; and,wherein said magnetic flux generation element is settable to a predetermined active frequency in an implanted state of the implantable element; and a mechanical adjustment element configured to change a relative position between the inductive section of the functional conductor and the at least one flux generation section of the magnetic flux generation element.
