Abstract: An electrode assembly is described, which allows close and robust contact with a biological structure such as a nerve while simultaneously preventing compressive injury to the biological structure. The electrode assembly includes a compliant cuff body and at least one reinforcing element in an aspect. The reinforced compliant cuff body may expand and contract to accommodate swelling of underlying biological structures, to accommodate movements of the biological structures associated with body movements, and to closely fit biological structures with irregular or non-uniform cross-sectional profiles. The electrode assembly further includes at least one electrode for sending and/or receiving electric impulse data to/from the biological structure such as a nerve.

Abstract: An implantable connector assembly comprising a first portion having a longitudinal body which includes a transversal protrusion having therein at least one conductive socket, a generally longitudinal wire entry, at least one wire connected to the at least one conductive socket, the at least one wire entering the longitudinal body through the generally longitudinal wire entry, a second portion having a longitudinal body which includes a recess complementary to the transversal protrusion of the first portion, generally longitudinal wire entry, at least one conductive pin positioned within the recess, at least one wire connected to the at least one conductive pin, the at least one wire connected to the conducting pin entering the longitudinal body through the longitudinal wire entry and a sealing assembly.
