The probe comprises a distal end able to come into contact with the tissues of the organ, this end comprising an insulating substrate, and at least one conductive interface carried by the substrate. The probe further comprises a probe body having at least one bonding conductor connected to a respective conductive interface. The conductive interface comprises at least one deformable conductive wire, at least partially exposed, with a woven, embroidered, braided or knitted configuration for anchoring the deformable wire to the substrate. ## Claims ### Claim 1 An implantable probe for electrical stimulation of an organ and/or for detection of electrical potentials on this organ, the implantable probe comprising: a distal end able to come into contact with the tissues of the organ, the distal end comprising: an isolating substrate, wherein the isolating substrate is a non-elastically deformable substrate, and at least one conductive interface carried by the substrate; and a probe body comprising at least one bonding wire connected to one or more of the at least one conductive interface, wherein: the at least one conductive interface is devoid of an additional elastically deformable support incorporating the isolating substrate; the at least one conductive interface comprises at least one deformable conductive wire, at least partially stripped; and the at least one conductive interface comprises a woven, embroidered, braided or knitted configuration for anchoring the at least one deformable wire to the isolating substrate; wherein the at least one deformable conductive wire of the at least one conductive interface is separate from its respective bonding wire, the at least one deformable conductive wire being electrically coupled to the bonding wire, and the distal end of the bonding wire being mechanically secured to the substrate by stitching the distal end of the bonding wire to the substrate. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The probe of claim 1, wherein the isolating substrate is a sheet of homogenous material. ### Claim 3 (depends on 1) The probe of claim 1, wherein the isolating substrate is a weft, either woven or knitted. ### Claim 4 (depends on 3) The probe of claim 3, wherein the at least one conductive interface is embedded to the weave of the fabric or knitting's weft. ### Claim 5 An implantable probe for electrical stimulation of an organ and/or for detection of electrical potentials on this organ, the implantable probe comprising: a distal end able to come into contact with the tissues of the organ, the distal end comprising: a non-elastically deformable isolating substrate; and at least one conductive interface carried by the non-elastically deformable isolating substrate; and a probe body comprising at least one bonding wire connected to one or more of the at least one conductive interface, wherein: the at least one conductive interface is devoid of an additional elastically deformable support incorporating the non-elastically deformable isolating substrate; the at least one conductive interface comprises at least one deformable conductive wire, at least partially stripped, wherein the at least one bonding wire is thicker than the at least one deformable wire; and the at least one conductive interface comprises a woven, embroidered, braided or knitted configuration for anchoring the at least one deformable wire to the non-elastically deformable isolating substrate; wherein the at least one deformable conductive wire of the at least one conductive interface is separate from its respective bonding wire, the at least one deformable conductive wire being electrically coupled to the respective bonding wire, and the distal end of the respective bonding wire being mechanically secured to the at least one deformable substrate. ### Claim 6 (depends on 5) The probe of claim 5, wherein the non-elastically deformable isolating substrate is a sheet of homogenous material. ### Claim 7 (depends on 5) The probe of claim 5, wherein the non-elastically deformable isolating substrate is a weft, either woven or knitted. ### Claim 8 (depends on 7) The probe of claim 7, wherein the at least one conductive interface is embedded to the weave of the fabric or knitting's weft.
