Abstract
An implantable lead connector configured for long term implantation and to electrically interconnect multiple medical devices and to channel electrical signals between said interconnected devices and a target organ, comprising: a first port adapted to receive a first signal suitable to stimulate a target tissue, a second port adapted to receive a second signal suitable to stimulate a target tissue, and a third port configured to connect to a target organ, wherein at least one of said first and second ports is configured to connect to a signal generator not integrated with said connector.
Claims50
A system, comprising:
- a first implantable device having its own power supply;
- a second implantable device having its own power supply;
- interconnecting circuitry electrically connecting said first and second implantable devices;
- and
- at least one implantable energy source for powering at least one of said first and second implantable devices and said interconnecting circuitry;
- wherein said system is configured to allow power sharing between at least two of said first and second implantable devices and said interconnecting circuitry;
- and
- wherein all pathways between said first implantable device, said second implantable device, and said at least one implantable energy source consist essentially of electrical conductors.
A system, comprising:
- a housing containing a first implantable device including a CCM (Cardiac Contractility Modulation) device and a second implantable device selected from at least one of a pacemaker and a defibrillator, wherein each of said first and second implantable devices has its own power supply;
- and
- interconnecting circuitry electrically connecting said first and second implantable devices;
- and
- at least one implantable energy source for powering at least one of first and second implantable devices and said interconnecting circuitry;
- wherein said system is configured to allow power sharing between at least two of said first and second implantable devices and said interconnecting circuitry;
- and
- wherein all pathways between said first implantable device, said second implantable device, and said at least one implantable energy source consist essentially of electrical conductors.
A system, comprising:
- a first implantable device having its own power supply;
- a second implantable device having its own power supply;
- interconnecting circuitry which allows power to be shared between at least two of said first and said second implantable devices and said interconnecting circuitry;
- and
- at least one implantable energy source for powering at least one of said first and second implantable devices and said interconnecting circuitry
- wherein all pathways between said first implantable device, said second implantable device, and said at least one implantable energy source consist essentially of electrical conductors.
