Embodiments include an implantable electrical line with at least one helically wound electrical conductor, an electrically conductive sleeve electrically connected to the electrical conductor, and an electrical filter. The electrical filter is arranged between a proximal and a distal longitudinal portion of a helix formed by the at least one helically wound electrical conductor as viewed in a longitudinal direction of the implantable electrical line, and is also arranged within the electrically conductive sleeve as viewed in a radial direction of the implantable electrical line.

Implantable electrical line

A contacting device for electrical connections to flexible electrode lines insertable or implantable into a patient body, includes a line coil with a plurality of coradially bundled coil wires, an inner fixing sleeve for a partial bundle of the coil wires, the fixing sleeve has a through-slit running in the axial direction for the partial bundle of the coil wires, and a winding groove running in the peripheral direction for the partial bundle led through, an outer electrode sleeve sitting on the inner fixing sleeve and electrically contacted with the partial bundle, and a strain-resistant fixing between the fixing sleeve and the partial bundle guided through the through-slit via an application of force on the partial bundle by pressing the fixing sleeve onto the line coil to produce plastic deformation and by looping the led-out partial bundle around the fixing sleeve in the winding groove by a minimum looping angle.

Contacting device for electrical connections to flexible electrode lines

An electrode connection for an electrode catheter including an electrode, a line for electrical signals configured as a coil having an electrode end connected to the electrode, and a fixation device for the electrode end of the coil on the electrode, wherein the fixation device includes an inner sleeve, on which the electrode end of the coil sits, and a squeeze ring, which acts upon the electrode end of the coil, establishing an electrical contact with the electrode and mechanical clamping on the inner sleeve.

Electrode connection, in particular for an electrode catheter

An electrode catheter, in particular for cardiac therapy, includes an elongated, tube-type catheter body, a ring electrode before the distal end of the electrode catheter for delivery and/or measurement of an electrical signal, in particular an electrocardio signal, by way of the outer electrode contact surface thereof, and a supply lead for the electrical connection of the ring electrode. The ring electrode is mounted on the catheter body such that it can be displaced relative thereto in the longitudinal axial direction.

Electrode catheter, in particular for cardiac therapy

A conductive coil arrangement, in particular for electrode catheters for cardiac therapy, including a multipolar conductive coil having a plurality of coradially interwoven individual coil wires and a contact zone in which at least one individual coil wire from the conductive coil can be connected to a contact element for electrical contacting. The at least one individual coil wire to be contacted is routed outwardly out of the wire interconnection of the conductive coil with a radial direction component. The remainder of the conductive coil is routed further centrally axially through the contact zone.

Conductive coil arrangement and electrode catheter arrangement, in particular for cardiac therapy

An electrode catheter, in particular for cardiac therapy, includes an elongate, tubular catheter body, an electrode for delivering or measuring an electrical signal, in particular an electrocardiac signal, via its external electrode contact surface, at least one first supply line for the electrical connection of the electrode, at least one second supply line for the electrical connection of a further electrode, a plug terminal connection between the at least one first supply line and the electrode, and an insulated passage of the at least one second supply line through the electrode.
