A method for subcutaneously implanting a heart device in a patient using an implantation device involves making a first incision in the vicinity of the sternum of the patient and a second incision in the lumbar region of the patient posterior to the vertebral column of the patient. The implantation device is inserted through the first incision to the second incision, and a guidewire is placed through the implantation device via the second incision to the first incision. An end of the guidewire is coupled to the heart device, and the guidewire is pulled through the implantation device until the guidewire is placed within the patient. The guidewire then is detached from the heart device, and the implantation device is removed. The first and second incisions are sutured such that the heart device is left positioned completely subcutaneously around the heart and outside of the ribcage of the patient.

Injectable subcutaneous string heart device

An encapsulation configuration for electronic components in a flexible implantable medical device, including at least one set of folded circuit boards and a filler material, the set of folded circuit boards including a plurality of circuit boards and a plurality of connection cables, each one of the circuit boards including at least one electronics component, each one of the circuit boards having a generally rectangular shape, the connection cables electrically coupling adjacent ones of the circuit boards and the circuit boards being folded over one another in a pleated manner, the filler material surrounding the set of folded circuit boards, the filler material and the set of folded circuit boards together having a cylindrical shape, the set of folded circuit boards being positioned lengthwise in the cylindrical shape and the electronics component being positioned on the set of folded circuit boards to achieve optimal volume consumption in the electronics encapsulation.

Battery and electronics integration in a flexible implantable medical device

Injectable subcutaneous heart device (ISHD) for regulating arrhythmias in a heart of a patient, including a plurality of linked structures, each one of the linked structures being hollow, an interconnecting bus, a biocompatible coating, at least two electrodes and a plurality of sensors, the interconnecting bus for electrically coupling the linked structures and the biocompatible coating for hermetically sealing and electrically insulating the linked structures, one of the linked structures encapsulating a power source, another one of the linked structures encapsulating at least one capacitor and a third one of the linked structures encapsulating electronics, the electrodes and the sensors being respectively placed on an outer surface of the linked structures located at opposite ends of the ISH D, for detecting arrhythmias and providing electrical shocks to the heart, the electrodes and the sensors being electrically coupled with the interconnecting bus and the ISHD being positioned subcutaneously around the heart.
