An electrode contact for an electrode lead for neurostimulation comprises a contact body including a contact surface for contacting human or animal neural tissue. The electrode contact furthermore comprises an arm section for contacting at least one electrical supply lead, wherein the arm section, originating from the contact body, extends laterally in a first spatial direction which runs parallel to a main extension plane of the contact surface. The arm section includes at least one cut-out for guiding through the at least one electrical supply lead.

Electrode contact, electrode lead and electrode contact system, and method for connecting electrode contacts to electrical supply leads

An electrode lead for the coronary sinus, with a lead body that has a distal section for insertion into the coronary sinus, and at least one electrode to make contact with body tissue, the at least one electrode being arranged on the distal section of the lead body. The electrode lead has a fixation device that can be extended out of the lead body to fix the electrode lead in a blood vessel.

Electrode lead with continuously variable fixation length

An electrode lead for the coronary sinus, having a lead body, which has a distal portion for insertion into the coronary sinus, and at least one electrode for contacting bodily tissue, wherein the at least one electrode is arranged on the distal portion of the lead body. The electrode lead, in order to fix the electrode lead in a blood vessel, has a fixing device, which is connected to a distal end of the lead body, wherein the fixing device is designed to be shortened incrementally or lengthened incrementally.

Electrode lead with variable, incrementally adjustable fixing length

A method for producing a plug, and to a plug. It is provided, in particular, that a plug connector and three plug contact rings are arranged in a casting mold, wherein the plug connector extends along a longitudinal axis and has a contact portion and a fastening portion connected integrally to the contact portion, and wherein a plug housing is formed by introducing a casting material into the casting mold so that the fastening portion is surrounded form-fittingly by the casting material and the contact portion protrudes out from the plug housing at a first end of the plug housing in the direction of the longitudinal axis.

Plug with an over-molded, non-rotatable plug connector and four connectors, in particular an IS4/DF4 plug

A surgical implant adapted for repairing a tissue or muscle wall defect comprises an areal, flexible basic structure which defines a primary region and at least one arm starting from the primary region and having a free end and an end area extending up to the free end. The arm is folded back and fixed (e.g. welded, sutured or glued), in its end area, to the primary region of the basic structure. Preferably, the basic structure is made from one piece and comprises a mesh.

Surgical implant

An implantable curved shaping part for externally shaping an implantable electrode line or a catheter, wherein the shaping part has a continuous first lumen to allow a portion of the electrode line or of the catheter to pass through, wherein the shaping part has an extruded tube formed from two materials, each coextruded over a predetermined wall segment, having different shrinkage behavior or has a portion of an extruded spiral tube, wherein one of the coextruded materials or the material of the spiral tube has a high Shore hardness, in particular, of 60 Shore or more.

A surgical implant () comprises a mesh-like, flexible basic structure () having a center area and an outer periphery (), wherein the outer periphery () has a polygonal shape with N corners (), N being at least 3. The implant () may comprise at least two pockets (), each pocket () extending from a peripheral line which connects two corners () of the outer periphery () of the basic structure () towards the center area of the basic structure (). The center area of the basic structure () can be marked by a center marking (), wherein directional indicators () point from the center marking () to at least two corners () of the outer periphery () of the basic structure ().

An implantable curved shaping part for externally shaping an implantable electrode line or a catheter, wherein the shaping part has a continuous first lumen to allow a portion of the electrode line or of the catheter to pass through, wherein the shaping part is formed as an injection molded part or has at least one injection molded portion, and an elongated, rigid yet flexible bend impression element is fixed within the wall or to the inner wall.

A surgical implant () adapted for repairing a tissue or muscle wall defect comprises an outer section () and an inner section () located in the outer section (), wherein the outer section () and the inner section () are formed from one double-sheet of a flexible basic structure, which preferably comprises a mesh. The implant can be strengthened by reinforcement elements ().
