Abstract
The invention relates to an apparatus for treating a pathology, comprising: —an implantable device (1) including an electrical connection terminal, —a remote control unit (2) for determining and controlling operating parameters of the implantable device (1), and delivering electricity thereto, —electrical connection means for electrically connecting the implantable device (1) to the control unit (2) via the electrical connection terminal, noteworthy in that the implantable device comprises a positioning indicator in order to facilitate detection of the position of the electrical connection terminal.
Claims19
An apparatus for treating a pathology comprising:
- an implantable device implantable configured to be implanted at an opening made in a cranium of a patient, wherein said implantable-device includes an ultrasound treatment unit having which has upper and lower faces and including an electrical connection terminal extending which extends on the upper face,
- a remote-control configured to determine and control operating parameters of the implantable device, and delivering to deliver electricity thereto to the implantable device,
- electrical connectors configured to electrically connect the ultrasound treatment unit to the remote-control via the electrical connection terminal,
- wherein the implantable device comprises a positioning indicator in order to facilitate detection of the position of the electrical connection terminal, wherein said positioning indicator comprises at least two light-emitting sources configured to emit light radiation towards the outside of the upper face, and wherein the electrical connection terminal extends between said light-emitting sources.
