Abstract
A device for the extravasal or extraneuronal fastening of a medical implant has a biocompatible surface substrate including a first substrate portion which is a compression sleeve and a free end portion. By winding the first substrate portion about a spatial axis, the axis is loosely radially covered in at least one layer by the wound first substrate portion. A second substrate portion, which is attached integrally to the first substrate portion which is not wound about the spatial axis, has a connection extending away from the medical implant.
Claims20
A device configured for extravasal or extraneuronal fastening of a medical implant into a patient comprising:
- a biocompatible substrate comprising means for resisting tensile and compression forces from being applied to the nerve bundle after implantation including a first substrate portion configured by winding the biocompatible substrate at least once completely around a spatial axis to form a compression sleeve and having a free end, the free end as a result of the winding of the first substrate portion around the spatial axis radially covers the at least one wound layer of the first substrate portion, and a second substrate portion which is attached integrally to the first substrate portion which is not wound around the spatial axis, and extends away from the medical implant, and:
- a region of the free end when implanted into the patient comprises at least one means, when the first substrate portion is wound around the spatial axis, for providing at least one joint connection between at least one of the first substrate portion and the second substrate portion.
