Abstract
A subcutaneously implantable device includes a housing, a clip attached to a top side of the housing that is configured to anchor the device to a bone, and an electrode that is configured to contact an organ. The clip includes a top portion that is rigid, a bottom portion that is rigid, and an intermediate portion between the top portion and the bottom portion that is configured to permit movement of the top portion with respect to the bottom portion and thereby apply force onto the bone between the top portion and the bottom portion.
Claims26
A subcutaneously implantable device comprising:
- a housing;
- a clip attached to a top side of the housing that is configured to anchor the device to a bone, wherein the clip comprises:
- a top portion that is rigid;
- a bottom portion that is rigid;
- and
- an intermediate portion between the top portion and the bottom portion that is configured to permit movement of the top portion toward the bottom portion and thereby apply force onto the bone between the top portion and the bottom portion;
- an electrode that is configured to contact an organ;
- and
- a prong with a proximal end attached to the housing and a distal end extending away from the housing that is configured to contact the organ, wherein the electrode is positioned on the distal end of the prong.
A subcutaneously implantable device comprising:
- a housing;
- a clip attached to a top side of the housing that is configured to anchor the device to a bone, with top and bottom portions of the clip that are rigid and are positionable on opposite sides of the bone, and that are connected by an intermediate portion that permits the top portion to be forced down toward the bottom portion and onto the bone;
- an electrode that is configured to contact an organ;
- a prong with a proximal end attached to the housing and a distal end extending away from the housing that is configured to contact the organ, wherein the electrode is positioned on the distal end of the prong;
- and
- circuitry in the housing in electrical communication with the electrode that is configured to at least one of:
- (i) sense an electrical signal from the organ through the electrode, or (ii) deliver electrical stimulation to the organ through the electrode.
