The invention is an implantable electrical connection between an electrical implant which has at least one electrical conductor and at least one electrical feed line. The invention further relates to a method for producing an implantable electrical connection between an electrical implant. The invention comprises at least one electrical cable having a cable end, to which an electrically conductive flat piece is unsupportedly fined, and that the at least one implant-side electrical conductor is joined to the flat piece.

Stimulation of neural activity in a nerve supplying the spleen, wherein the nerve is associated with a neurovascular bundle, can re-programme immune cells in the spleen, modulate pro- and anti-inflammatory molecules levels, and induce disease-resolution pathways system-ically thereby reducing inflammation and providing ways of treating inflammatory disorders. The invention provides improved ways of treating inflammatory disorders which minimize off-target effects.

A deployment tab for deploying a neural interface device, the deployment tab comprising a first portion configured, in use, to be positioned proximal to the neural interface device; and a connector, for releasably coupling the first portion to the neural interface device, the connector being anchored to the first portion.

In embodiments a neural interface comprising at least one C-ring portion can be used to apply a pressure in a range of 0 mmHg to 30 mmHg to a target tissue arranged within the C-ring portion and comprising at least one electrode arranged on the at least one C-ring portion.

A neurostimulation system is disclosed for providing treatment to a patient during a therapy session. The neurostimulation system includes a neurostimulator for transmitting magnetic or electrical signals based upon a treatment program. A programmer is connected to the neurostimulator to set a treatment session parameter value to calculate a therapy compliance value. A compliance module is connected to the neurostimulator and the programmer to calculate and store a therapy compliance value. A control module is connected to the compliance module, the programmer and the neurostimulator and determines whether the therapy compliance value is within a range of the treatment program. The neurostimulator transmits electrical or magnetic signals to the patient in a treatment session only if the therapy compliance value meets a compliance criteria.

Methods, devices and materials are for in situ formation of an implant for treating a nerve. A treatment site is positioned within a cavity defined by a form. The form may facilitate placement of a nerve stimulating device adjacent to the nerve to facilitate nerve regeneration. An in situ forming gel may be delivered in the form to surround the nerve. Access to the nerve treatment site may be open surgical or percutaneous.

The present disclosure relates to neuromuscular stimulation and sensing cuffs. The neuromuscular stimulation cuff has at least two fingers and a plurality of electrodes disposed on each finger. More generally, the neuromuscular stimulation cuff includes an outer, reusable component and an inner, disposable component. One or more electrodes are housed within the reusable component. The neuromuscular stimulation cuff may be produced by providing an insulating substrate layer, forming a conductive circuit on the substrate layer to form a conductive circuit layer, adhering a cover layer onto the conductive circuit layer to form a flexible circuit, and cutting at least one flexible finger from the flexible circuit. The neuromuscular stimulation cuff employs a flexible multi-electrode design which allows for reanimation of complex muscle movements in a patient, including individual finger movement.

In a medical or surgical equipment for receiving signals or for outputting signals from or to organic signal transmitters or receivers (4), such as in particular nerves, wherein on or in at least one carrier strip (1) at least one signal transmitter (2) for signals from or signals to the organic signal transmitter or receiver (4) is provided, which can be brought into contact with the organic signal transmitter or receiver (4), the carrier strip (1) is intended to change its shape when there is a change in a medium surrounding it or in a medium present in it or by a medium that can be introduced into it, in such a way that it adapts to the organic signal transmitter or receiver (4).

A peripheral nerve interface including a microclip having a substantial U-shape and including an upper entry portion for entry of a nerve into the microclip and a lower seating portion for seating the nerve in the lower seating portion of the microclip; a stretchable microelectrode array including a plurality of electrodes, wherein the stretchable microelectrode array has a proximal end portion fixed to the microclip and a portion that is moveable and dragged into the upper entry portion and then the lower entry portion of the microclip in response to the microclip be positioned on the nerve; and an interface connected to a distal end of the stretchable microelectrode array and configured to interface with an external device for applying electrical stimulation to the nerve seated in the lower seating portion and for recording electrical characteristic of the nerve seated in the lower seating portion via the plurality of electrodes in the stretchable microelectrode array.

Devices, systems and methods of neurostimulation for treating obstructive sleep apnea. The system is adapted to send an electrical signal from an implanted neurostimulator through a stimulation lead to a patient's nerve at an appropriate phase of the respiratory cycle based on input from a respiration sensing lead. External components are adapted for wireless communication with the neurostimulator. The neurostimulator is adapted to deliver therapeutic stimulation based on inputs.
