Abstract
A stimulation electrode assembly configured to be positioned relative to a patient for an operative procedure is disclosed. The stimulation electrode may be a connection or self-contained component to contact a portion of a nerve. The stimulation electrode may provide or receive a signal to and/or from the nerve to assist in testing integrity of the nerve.
Claims20
A self-contained leadless stimulation system, comprising:
- an electronics assembly having:
- a power source, and
- a controller having a memory and a processor, the processor configured to execute instructions stored in the memory to set a set signal;
- at least one electrical contact configured to deliver or receive a signal based upon the set signal;
- and
- a housing configured to contain at least the electronics assembly and the at least one electrical contact;
- wherein the housing is further configured, including size and shape, to be placed in contact with a patient to stimulate a nerve.

A self-contained leadless stimulation system, comprising:
- an electronics assembly having:
- a power source, and
- a controller having a memory and a processor, the processor configured to execute instructions stored in the memory to set a set signal;
- at least a first electrical contact and a second electrical contact configured to deliver a stimulus to a selected tissue based upon the set signal;
- and
- a housing configured to contain at least the electronics assembly and the at least first and second electrical contacts;
- wherein the housing is further configured, including size and shape, to be placed near the selected tissue of the patient to deliver the stimulus to the patient.
