Claims23
A system comprising:
- (1) a sensory implant adapted to sense a change in at least one parameter associated with a condition and/or a performance of an internal body organ;
- and
- (2) an implant delivery device, comprising:
- (a) a longitudinal body enclosing a lumen communicating with an open free end thereof and adapted to provide a contained passage along a linear pierced path between an entry point and a wall target associated with the internal body organ;
- and
- (b) an introducer releasably connected to the sensory implant and adapted to advance the sensory implant from an enclosed position in the lumen to a protruded position distal to the free end;
- wherein the implant delivery device is operative to penetrate the wall from the exterior surface and to release the sensory implant in the wall.
