An implantable medical device including at least one elongate electrical line with a first electrical component as a functional conductor, and at least one second electrical component with an electrical length. The first electrical component includes a proximal end and a distal end, wherein the distal side is in electrical contact with tissue or blood. The first electrical component is in electrical contact with the at least one second electrical component, and wherein the electrical length of the at least one second component corresponds to at least a tenth of a wavelength (&#x3bb;/10) of electromagnetic waves in a radiofrequency range.

Implantable device

An implantable electrical line including a lead, wherein the lead includes at least one helically wound electrical conductor. The at least one helically wound electrical conductor is surrounded by a fiber braid, which is formed by at least two fibers or fiber bundles, and wherein the at least two fibers or fiber bundles are interwoven and wound around the electrical conductor in opposite winding directions.

Implantable electrical line

An implantable lead having an elongated lead body and a function conductor extending in the longitudinal direction of the conductor body, the function conductor being provided to implement a medical function of the lead, wherein in addition to the function conductor, a field decoupling conductor loop is provided, which reduces coupling of the function conductor to the outside alternating magnetic field by generating an induction field that is in the opposite direction of an outside magnetic field.

Implantable lead having an elongated lead body

Temporarily or permanently implantable medical device, having at least one longitudinally extended first electrical conductor having a functional lead, which is connected to a functional electrode pole for dispensing therapeutic signals or for detecting diagnostic signals, and including at least one second electrical conductor, which is coupled to the functional lead and is guided with it in a shared insulating sheathing, such that a coupling between the functional lead and the second electrical conductor is designed to input electromagnetic radiofrequency waves guided in the functional lead at least partially into the second electrical conductor.

A device that can be temporarily introduced in a body or permanently implanted in a body comprising at least one elongated electric function conductor for transmitting treatment signals or diagnostic signals, or both, and further comprising a connector, which is connected to the function conductor and disposed on a proximal end of the function conductor, for connecting the device to a further device. Characteristic impedance is present between the function conductor and at least one further conductor. A transition region from the function conductor to the connector is designed such that a characteristic impedance between the function conductor and the further conductor in the transition region is designed to be between the corresponding characteristic impedance of the device in a line section distal of the transition region and the characteristic impedance present proximal of the transition region when the connector is connected to a further device.
