The present application discloses instruments, systems, and methods for measuring temperature. In one example, an instrument or heat sensor probe includes a housing that defines a chamber, which is configured for a fluid to circulate therein, and a body of material disposed over the housing. The body has a first side proximal to the housing and a second side distal from the housing. The probe further includes a heat sensor configured for sensing heat at a position spaced inwardly from the second side of the body.

Temperature sensor and temperature probe

An implantable component of a prosthesis comprising of at least one powered component; at least one antenna coil contained within an electrically insulating surround; and an electrical storage element for powering at least one powered component, the electrical storage element being positionable within a support area of the surround, the support area being at least partially within the area defined by the at least one antenna coil.

Removable implantable battery positioned inside implant coil

A thermoelectric power source for generating power for use by at least one load device including an implantable thermoelectric unit having at least one thermoelectric device configured to be electrically coupled to the at least one load device, and at least one impedance matching device constructed and arranged to match an output impedance of the thermoelectric device with an input impedance of the load device.

Thermoelectric power supply

Devices for the delivery of a bioactive substance to a cochlea and methods of delivery thereof. The devices include means to allow the release of the bioactive substance within a cochlea.

Medical implant drug delivery device

A zinc air-type battery comprising first and second cathodes each with positive contacts and an anode with a negative contact. The second cathode is situated proximal to the negative contact and proximal to the anode, which can enable air ingress to be substantially doubled and the internal resistance of the battery to be substantially halved, and further can provide for a relatively short diffusion length of ions from the second cathode.
