A device, system and method for inserting a pre-curved electrode array () held in a substantially straight configuration by a straightening member () into a cochlea of a subject. As the electrode array () is inserted into the cochlea by the device, the straightening member () is held by the device such that the electrode array () advances off the straightening member () such that it is free to take on its pre-curved configuration in the cochlea of the subject.

Cartridge for an electrode array insertion device

A method of forming a non-linear path of at least a portion of at least one electrically conducting wire extending between a first location and a second location. The method includes the steps of forming a wire path template defining a non-linear path, winding said wire through said template such that said wire adopts said non-linear path, connecting the wire to a feedthrough member, wherein the feedthrough member is configured to provide an electrical connection through a wall of an implantable component implantable in a recipient along with the wire, and removing the wire from the template.

Method of forming a non-linear path of an electrically conducting wire

A method of forming and connecting an antenna to a feedthrough member of a housing. The method comprising a step of: positioning the feedthrough member and an antenna template relative to each other. A step of connecting the first portion of at least one electrically conducting wire to the feedthrough member. An additional step of winding the wire at least once around the antenna template, and a further step of connecting a second portion of each wire to said feedthrough member.
