Abstract
An optical fibres connector for an optoelectronic active implantable medical device (AIMD) for implantation in a living body is provided. The optical fibres connector includes a male component (M) coupled to a first set of optical fibres, a female component (F) coupled to a second set of optical fibres or optical elements, and a coupling component (C) for reversibly locking the male and female components in a coupled position. The optical fibres or optical elements are in perfect alignment. The coupling component includes a fixed element () and a rotatable element () all optical fibres () and optical elements of the connector remaining static upon rotation of the rotatable element, reversibly locking the male and female components in the coupled position is achieved by rotating the rotatable element with respect to the fixed element.
