Implantable fluid delivery apparatuses and implantable electrode

摘要

Abstract Implantable fluid delivery systems and implantable electrodes (203) are 5 provided. The fluid delivery systems may include an implantable fluid source (113), a first catheter (109) in fluid communication with the implantable fluid source, and an implantable micro-valve (101) in fluid communication with the first catheter. The electrodes include a front end (2007) and back end (2005) for ease of implantation. One or more of the electrodes may be combined with a fluid delivery system to provide fluid io to the body of a subject. N:/Melboume/Cases/Patenl/52000-52999/PS2424.
