Title: Stephan Geiger and Cochlear Electrode-Lead Steering
Introduction
Stephan Geiger is an inventor associated with Hanover, Germany, and Advanced Bionics Corporation. His patent work addresses technology for guiding an electrode lead during insertion into the cochlea.
Latest Patents
Geiger is associated with 1 patent: “Assemblies, Electrode Leads, and Methods for Steering an Electrode Lead During Insertion into a Cochlea.” The invention describes an assembly with a tubular element and a flexible electrode lead. Fiber windings around the tubular element have different configurations in separate sections. When pressure is applied within the element’s lumen, those sections move in different ways, helping steer the electrode lead as it is inserted into the cochlea.
Career Highlights
Geiger’s listed patent reflects work on a specialized medical-device challenge: controlling an electrode lead during cochlear insertion. The disclosed approach uses pressure-responsive sections with distinct winding configurations to support steering.
Collaborations
The patent information names Martin Grossoehmichen as a coworker. Geiger is also associated with Advanced Bionics Corporation.
Conclusion
Stephan Geiger’s patent contribution focuses on a pressure-responsive assembly designed to improve steering of electrode leads during insertion into the cochlea.
