Abstract
A device for contacting and/or electrically stimulating biological tissue by means of at least one electrode has at least a first unit, on which the at least one electrode is provided and which is configured for implantation in a human or animal body, a second unit, for supplying the first unit with electrical energy, and at least a first and a second conductive track for the voltage supply of the first unit. The first and second conductive tracks are respectively electrically connected to the first and second units and are at different voltage potentials. Spatially between the first and second conductive tracks, at least a first additional conductive track is arranged that is functionally not involved in the voltage supply of the first unit.
Claims23
A device for at least one of contacting and electrically stimulating biological tissue by means of at least one electrode, comprising
- at least a first unit, the at least one electrode being provided on said first unit, said first unit being configured for implantation in a human or animal body,
- a second unit that provides a voltage supply for supplying the first unit with electrical energy,
- and at least a first and a second conductive track for connecting the voltage supply to said first unit, each conductive track being electrically connected to the first unit and to the second unit, said first and second units being at different voltage potentials,
- at least a first additional conductive track being provided and arranged spatially between the first and second conductive tracks, said first additional conductive track being functionally not involved in the supply of the first unit with electrical energy.
