The present invention relates to an implant adapted to be implanted at least partially in a biological tissue (20). Today's implants remain very susceptible to mechanical damage. The inventors have thus developed an implant having a greater reliability in terms of resistance to mechanical stress than existing implants, while allowing for easy connection with different parts of a biological tissue. This implant comprises an implant body (30) and a set of electrically conductive wires (55), each wire (55) comprising a first portion (65) electrically connected to the body (30), a second portion (70) and a third portion (75) intended to be electrically connected to the tissue (20), The implant (10) comprises a set of arms (25) comprising each an insulating sheath (60) and a bundle (52) of wires (55), each bundle (52) comprising at least two subsets (62) of wires (55).

A cranial drill guide includes a housing and a drill guide sleeve assembly pivotally attached to the housing. The drill guide sleeve assembly has at least two degrees of freedom to allow the drill guide sleeve assembly to be moved to a first pivoted position for forming an angled burr hole through a cranial surface. The two degrees of freedom can comprise a pivoting motion of the drill guide sleeve assembly and an axial motion of a portion of the drill guide sleeve assembly.

Thin film connectors are described for connecting a lead assembly and a data acquisition system. Particularly, a connector includes a button having a housing and conductive pins extending from a proximal end of the housing through a base plate into a cavity on a distal end of the housing. The connector further includes a thin-film adapter having: (i) a supporting structure, (ii) bond pads formed on the supporting structure, (iii) a cable having conductive traces electrically connected to the bond pads, and (iv) feedthroughs that pass through the supporting structure and are electrically connected with the bond pads. Each conductive pin extends through a feedthrough, and each conductive pin is in electrical connection with one or more conductive traces via each bond pad.
