MINIATURE IMPLANTABLE ARRAY AND STIMULATION SYSTEM SUITABLE FOR EYELID STIMULATION

摘要

An implantable miniature eyelid electrode apparatus (2) that causes a paralyzed eyelid (9) to close or open by passing an electrical stimulating current to a nerve or muscle, is comprised of a longtudinally flexible, nonconductive body containing electrodes that pass an electrical signal to the nearby nerve or muscle, which closes or opens the eyelid.
