Abstract
The present invention relates to an implantable probe comprising a sleeve adapted to be wound around an elongated cylindrical organ, such as a vagus nerve. The sleeve comprises a sheet of elastically deformable material carrying a detection/stimulation electrode being prestressed so as to allow its self-winding from an initial position where the sheet is held under stress in the deployed state to a final position where the sheet is freely spirally wound forming a sleeve around the organ. The sheet is delimited by inner and outer lateral edges of the sleeve after winding, a first transverse edge joining the first homologous ends of the first lateral edge and the second lateral edge, and a second opposite transversal edge joining homologous second ends of the first lateral edge and the second lateral edge. In the final position of the sleeve, the sheet comprises at least one area having a constraint near the first and/or second transverse edge.
