  • Patent number: 11318320
    Abstract: A connector cavity assembly for a medical device, comprising at least one connector cavity comprising a plurality of electrically conductive electrode contacts spaced apart from each other and a plurality of electrically insulating insulation elements, wherein the electrode contacts and the insulation elements are arranged alternatingly; and a connector cavity housing. The connector cavity assembly is characterized in that the at least one connector cavity is removably arranged within the connector cavity housing, wherein the connector cavity housing exerts a pretension on the at least one connector cavity leading to a liquid-tight sealing between the insulation elements and the electrode contacts.

  • Patent number: 10854961
    Abstract: An implantable electronic medical device has a device body and a header placed thereon, and includes a telemetry assembly for signal transmission to and/or from outside the body of a patient when the device is implanted, in particular for the wireless bidirectional communication. A transmit/receive antenna, which is physically formed of an elongated conductor and arranged in the region of the header and which is configured so as to have a form fit with the outer contour of at least a portion of the header, and is fixed thereby in the header, is at least largely assigned to the telemetry assembly. A first section of the conductor has a spring elastic design and forms a bracket or clamp. The bracket embraces a connector in the header. There is also described a transmit/receive antenna of a telemetry assembly of an implantable electronic medical device.
