Electrical Connectors For Medical Lead Having Weld-Less Wiring Connection

View page
US Patent:
7110827, Sep 19, 2006
Filed:
Apr 25, 2003
Appl. No.:
10/423107
Inventors:
Shahn S. Sage - Andover MN, US
Jeffrey S. Gagnon - Champlin MN, US
Jane L. Kohnen - Minneapolis MN, US
Assignee:
Medtronic, Inc. - Minneapolis MN
International Classification:
A61N 1/00
US Classification:
607116, 439909, 607115
Abstract:
Low resistivity, implantable electrical connectors and biomedical leads having the connectors mechanically coupled in a non-welded attachment to low resistivity wires to extend implanted device battery life. One electrical connector includes an electrically conductive housing having a longitudinal aperture and an inner facing circumferential channel. A spring disposed within the channel can contact an inserted electrode. The housing can include at least one hole adjacent a mechanically deformable side wall for mechanically securing an electrical conductor inserted within the hole. The low resistivity, implantable, biocompatible electrical connectors and leads can be used in neurological and cardiac applications.

Method Of Manufacturing An Implantable Lead

US Patent:
7310873, Dec 25, 2007
Filed:
Jan 27, 2005
Appl. No.:
11/045570
Inventors:
Xavier E. Pardo - Minneapolis MN, US
Shahn S. Sage - Andover MN, US
Scott B. Kokones - Minneapolis MN, US
Jeffrey S. Gagnon - Champlin MN, US
Assignee:
Medtronic, Inc. - Minneapolis MN
International Classification:
H01R 43/00
US Classification:
29825, 29854, 29855
Abstract:
An implantable lead body for a medical device with improved conductor lumens separates and insulates conductors while permitting access to the conductors through the implantable lead outer surface. The implantable lead comprises a lead body, a stylet lumen, at least one conductor lumen, and at least one axial slit in the lead body. The lead body has a proximal end, a distal end, an internal portion, and an external portion. The stylet lumen is formed in the internal portion. The conductor lumen is formed in the internal portion and positioned near an outer surface of the internal portion such that there is only a web between the conductor lumen and the outer surface of the internal portion. The axial slit is formed in the lead body distal end between the conductor lumen and the outer surface of the internal portion.

View page
US Patent:
7335197, Feb 26, 2008
Filed:
Oct 13, 2004
Appl. No.:
10/963971
Inventors:
Shahn S. Sage - Andover MN, US
John M. Swoyer - Andover MN, US
Ahmed Elmouelhi - Minneapolis MN, US
Mark A. Christopherson - Shoreview MN, US
Assignee:
Medtronic, Inc. - Minneapolis MN
International Classification:
A61B 18/18
US Classification:
606 41, 607101
Abstract:
A one-piece, single-use disposable device for transurethral needle ablation (TUNA) of prostate tissue to alleviate BPH is disclosed. The device may include a flexible catheter tip including a rigid core and a flexible tip. The device may also include a single use lockout to help ensure that the device is used to perform only one ablation procedure on a single patient. The device may further include a simplified needle deployment mechanism and/or an automatic needle retraction mechanism.

Implantable Medical Lead And System, And Method Of Use Thereof

US Patent:
7343206, Mar 11, 2008
Filed:
Apr 30, 2004
Appl. No.:
10/835939
Inventors:
Shahn S. Sage - Andover MN, US
Jose M. Hernandez - Maple Grove MN, US
Assignee:
Medtronic, Inc. - Minneapolis MN
International Classification:
A61N 1/00
US Classification:
607117
Abstract:
Implantable medical leads, lead assemblies, and methods for implanting the leads into the human body, for example, for use within the epidural spaces of the spinal column to manage pain. A stylet lumen extends within the lead between a side-wall stylet entrance port and a lead distal region. In use, exemplary stylets may be inserted through the lead stylet port to stiffen only the distal portion of the lead, and the distal portion of the lead inserted through an introducer needle into the human body. The stiffened distal portion of the lead may be short and easily controllable.

Methods And Apparatus For Securing A Therapy Delivery Device Within A Burr Hole

View page
US Patent:
7580756, Aug 25, 2009
Filed:
Feb 9, 2005
Appl. No.:
11/054510
Inventors:
Gregory T. Schulte - Minneapolis MN, US
Matthew H. Adams - Princeton MN, US
Shahn S. Sage - Andover MN, US
Lynn M. Otten - Blaine MN, US
Assignee:
Medtronic, Inc. - Minneapolis MN
International Classification:
A61N 1/00
A61B 19/00
US Classification:
607116, 606129, 606130
Abstract:
Apparatus and methods for securing a therapy delivery device relative to a burr hole. In one embodiment, the apparatus includes a base that is securable to bone, without the use of fasteners, either before or after insertion of the therapy delivery device into the burr hole. The apparatus may further include a stabilizer that may be engaged with both the base and the therapy delivery device while the delivery device is held with positioning apparatus. The base and/or stabilizer may frictionally engage the delivery device, e. g. , receive it with interference, to secure the device in two or more non-parallel directions. In some embodiments, at least the stabilizer may include a surface coating or treatment operable to enhance frictional engagement with the therapy delivery device.
