Abstract: The present invention relates to a stimulation generator suitable for use in an implantable neurostimulator, including an injectable neurostimulator. The stimulation generator is adapted to provide a configurable stimulation signal comprising a component, such as a pulse. The stimulation generator comprises circuitry to receive and combine an amplitude control signal and a duty cycle signal to produce a preliminary output voltage signal which includes the component of the stimulation signal. It further comprises a voltage-controlled current source adapted to be driven by the preliminary output voltage signal; and a mode selector controlled by a stimulation mode signal to output the component from the preliminary output voltage signal as a current-controlled component of the stimulation signal via the voltage-controlled current source or as a voltage-controlled component of the stimulation signal.

Abstract: A neural implant system for percutaneous delivery of a neural implant (1) in a patient's tissue, the neural implant system includes a neural implant (1) having a housing portion (2) and an elongate electrode lead (3), and a delivery device (10) having a handle (11), a first needle (12) fixed to the handle and having a lumen adapted to receive the housing portion of the neural implant, a second needle (13) having a higher gauge than the first needle, the second needle comprising a retaining portion partially surrounding the elongate electrode lead and an open side extending at least partially along the length of the second needle, wherein the second needle is retractably mounted to the housing and retractable to deploy the electrode lead in the patient's tissue, wherein the electrode lead includes a resiliently biased anti-migration member (32) aligned with the retaining portion of the second needle so as to be constrained before deployment, and wherein the resiliently biased anti-migration member is configure

Abstract: A delivery device (10) for percutaneously implanting a medical implant (1) in tissue of a patient includes a delivery sheath (12, 13, 53, 61, 62, 65, 66) adapted to at least partially surround the medical implant and carry the medical implant for percutaneous delivery in the patient's tissue. The delivery device also includes a power delivery system (37) adapted to provide electric power to the medical implant within the delivery sheath.

Abstract: A method of percutaneously implanting a neurostimulator implant in tissue of a patient, the neurostimulator implant having a wireless power receiver and an elongate electrode lead, includes percutaneously implanting the neurostimulator implant such that the wireless power receiver is oriented towards the skin surface of the patient at the implantation site.

Abstract: The present application provides an implant delivery device (10) for implanting a medical implant (1) in a patient. The medical implant (1) comprises an implant housing (2) and an elongate electrode lead (3) extending from the implant housing. The implant delivery device (10) comprises a handle (11), a first needle (12) and a second needle (13). The first needle (12) is fixed to the handle (11) and extends in a longitudinal direction. The first needle (12) comprises a lumen adapted to receive the implant housing (2) of the medical implant (1). The second needle (13) has a higher gauge than the first needle (12) and is adapted to carry the elongate electrode lead (3) of the medical implant (1).
