IMPROVEMENTS TO AN IMPLANT, SYSTEM AND METHOD USING IMPLANTED PASSIVE CONDUCTORS FOR ROUTING ELECTRICAL CURRENT

摘要

Abstract The present invention provides improvements to an implant, system and method using passive electrical conductors which route electrical current to either external or implanted electrical devices, to multiple target body tissues and to selective target body 5 tissues. The passive electrical conductor extends from subcutaneous tissue located below either a surface cathodic electrode or o a surface anodic electrode a) to a target tissue to route electrical signals from the target body tissue to devices external to the body; b) to implanted electrical devices to deliver electrical current to such devices, or c) to multiple target body tissues or to selective target body tissues to stimulate the target 0 body tissues. The conductor has specialized ends for achieving such purposes. Fig. 2
