Abstract
A fastening system for an electrical stimulation generator has a generator and an electrode, a casing for containing the generator that presents identical first and second openings, disposed on opposite sides; a device for the connection of the electrode to the first or second opening in the casing formed by a first pass-through connector for the electrode, with an airtight valve; an airtight closing element disposed at the opening of the casing opposite the one presenting the means for the connection of the electrode, a device for securing the electrode to the skin; and a device for fastening the casing to the body of the patient.
Claims14
A fastening system (1) for an electrical stimulation generator (2), comprising:
- a generator (2) for cardiac stimulation, disposed externally with respect to a body of the patient (3);
- an electrode (5) that presents a first end (5.1) configured for connection to a heart of the patient (3) and a second end (5.2) configured for connection to said generator (2),
- a casing (4) configured for containing the generator (2) therein, the casing having identical first and second openings (7.1, 7.2) disposed on opposite sides thereof;
- means for the connection of the electrode (5) to one of the first or second openings (7.1, 7.2) in the casing (4) and being formed by a first pass-through connector (13) for the second end (5.2) of the electrode (5), wherein the first connector (13) has and a sealing element (14) therein;
- an airtight closing element (10) disposed at the other of the first or second opening in the casing (4) opposite the one of the first or second opening presenting the means for the connection of the electrode (5);
- wherein the casing (4) is formed by a rear part (8.1) in contact with the body of the patient (3) and a front part (8.2), joined together by hinged means (9) and comprises closing means at an end opposite the hinged means (9) by fitting of the first connector (13) and of the closing element (10) in both first and second openings (7.1, 7.2) of the casing (4), each one in one of said openings;
- wherein positions of the closing element (10) and the first connector (13) are interchangeable allowing the electrode (5) to be connectable to the first opening (7.1) or to the second opening (7.2).
