The present invention relates to a monolithic spring contact ring, preferably for use in a medical electrode, comprising an outer ring and a plurality of elastically deformable belt-shaped spring elements, each comprising two curved connectors which form a continuously running, gap-free connection between the outer ring and the respective spring element, wherein the spring elements each extend continuously from the first connector to the second connector via a first bend, a central part of the spring element and a second bend, wherein the middle part comprises a front side which points in the direction of the central axis of the outer ring.

Spring contact ring

One aspect relates to a method of producing a sleeve for a ring electrode for electrophysiological and neuro-medical applications from a biocompatible metallic tape. Repetitive structures are punched into the tape and each includes at least one surface that is connected by at least one fin to at least one external strip. The at least one external strip connects the repetitive structures to each other on the margin. A sleeve mold is formed from a multiple of the repetitive structures through multiple reforming steps by a reforming technique. The sleeve mold is punched off the such that the sleeve is formed with a first tube-shaped region with a larger diameter and a second tube-shaped region with a smaller diameter. The first region with the larger diameter has a larger external diameter and internal diameter than the second region with the smaller diameter, and the two regions are connected.

Processes for producing a sleeve for an electrode for medical applications

One aspect relates to a composite, including a ceramic body having a first layer surface and a second layer surface and at least one cermet conductor that electrically connects the surfaces. The composite includes a first layer with the first layer surface, a first ceramic, a first hole and a first cermet element in the first hole, a second layer with the second layer surface, a second ceramic, a second hole and a second cermet element in the second hole, and an intermediate layer that is located between the first and the second layer. The intermediate layer includes an intermediate layer ceramic, an intermediate hole and one intermediate cermet element in the intermediate hole. A projection of the cross-section of the first hole and a projection of the cross section of the second hole onto a plane Pare arranged offset to each other.

Internal cermet routing for complex feedthroughs

A method is provided for manufacturing a partially coated carrier structure including a carrier tape coated by a coating. A protective film is applied to at least a portion of the coating, the coating is partially removed from the carrier tape, and the protective film is removed from the coating. A device for manufacturing a partially coated carrier structure by a method of this type includes a first conveying facility for conveying a carrier tape coated by a coating, an application facility for application of a protective film to at least a portion of the coating, and at least one tool that can be used to partially remove the coating from the carrier tape.
