Method for Manufacturing a Device for Positioning and Fixing Electrodes on Body Organs, Device and Kit of Parts

A device for in vivo positioning, repositioning and fixing of electrodes against body organs, in particular the human heart, comprising:

• at least one electrode adapted to exchange electrical signals with a body organ,
• communication means connected to the electrode for co-action with measuring and control means, and
• at least one resilient fixation element connected to the electrode, wherein the fixation element is expandable from a relatively compact form to a relatively voluminous form, and
• wherein the fixation element is adapted to press the electrode under bias against the body organ in the relatively voluminous form in co-action with surrounding body tissue in order to maintain the desired position.

A method for manufacturing a device for in vivo positioning, repositioning and fixing of electrodes against body organs, comprising the steps of:

• providing an electrode, a compressible resilient element and communication means,
• connecting the electrode and the resilient element,
• connecting the electrode and the communication means;
• arranging fixing means on at least one side of the resilient element.
