PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To continuously retain a stimulation electrode at a desired position while completely implanting a device body into a living body. SOLUTION: The electric stimulator to be implanted into the living body via tubular lead-in tool includes: the stimulation electrode to be implanted into the living body to electrically stimulate nerves or muscles; an electronic circuit electrically connected to the stimulation electrode to apply stimulation signals; and a support body for supporting the implantation position of the stimulation electrode inside the living body. There is no penetrating electric line within the support body, and the support body can be cut at a desired position. COPYRIGHT: (C)2011,JPO&INPIT |
