Implantable nerve stimulation device

An implantable nerve stimulation device adapted to receive pulses from a transmitter for stimulating body tissue comprising

• a head having a top side and an opposite bottom side and defining a cavity at the top side thereof, said head disposed on a central longitudinal axis,
• receiver means mounted in said head for selectively receiving and converting high frequency magnetic energy pulses into stimulating pulses,
• first electrode means having a proximal end positioned in the cavity defined in said head and a distal end extending outwardly from the bottom side of said head and connected to said receiver means for transmitting said stimulating pulses to the distal end thereof when the distal end of said first electrode means is placed in said body tissue,
• dielectric and bio-compatible adhesive means in the form of plug for filling said cavity and to aid in securing the proximal end of said first electrode means in said head to fix the distal end thereof at a pre-selected location and depth in said body tissue, and
• second electrode means secured and confined entirely within said head and connected to said receiver means, to define an exposed outer surface positioned to extend across the bottom side of said head and exposed exteriorly thereof, for receiving said stimulating pulses directly from the distal end of said first electrode means after they pass through said body tissue.
