Abstract: An anchoring arrangement for anchoring an implantable medical device at tissue of a patient includes a fixation member for fixing the anchoring arrangement to the implantable medical device and at least two tines extending from the fixation member at opposite sides relative to a central axis of the anchoring arrangement. The tines have a curved geometry and are elastically deformable such as to be reversibly deformable between a relaxed configuration and a pre-deployment configuration. The curved geometry and deformation characteristics of the tines are configured such that, in an initial phase of a deformation procedure during which the tines deform from their pre-deployment configuration to their relaxed configuration due to their intrinsic prestress, the cantilever ends of the tines are displaced such as to follow a deployment trajectory which extends at an emergence attack angle of between 40° and 90° relative to the central axis of the anchoring arrangement.

Abstract: An anchor holding tool is used for holding, during an implantation procedure, a lead anchor device. The lead anchor device is used for anchoring a lead in a patient. The anchor holding tool includes a holding tip for engaging with the lead anchor device, and a handle connected to the holding tip. The holding tip generally extends along a longitudinal axis for receiving the lead anchor device along the longitudinal axis on the holding tip. The handle extends at an angle with respect to the longitudinal axis from the holding tip. The holding tip forms an inner face shaped to abut with an anchor body of the lead anchor device. The inner face includes a concave shape extending about the longitudinal axis for receiving the anchor body of the lead anchor device.

Abstract: A lead anchor for a neuromodulation lead has an anchor body that receives a portion of the lead. A mesh is arranged so as to at least partially surround the portion of the lead when the portion of the lead is received in the anchor body.

Abstract: An implantable device comprises a housing having an oblong shape extending along a longitudinal axis, and a coil arrangement for communicating with an external device, the coil arrangement comprising a coil winding and a bobbin on which the coil winding is arranged. The coil arrangement is received in the housing such that the coil winding and the bobbin extend along a transverse direction with respect to the longitudinal axis, wherein the coil winding is wound on the bobbin about the transverse direction and has an elongated shape along the transverse direction.

Abstract: A sensing system for sensing biological signals externally on a patient comprises a medical device comprising at least one electrode for sensing biological signals on a patient. An adapter element is mountable on said at least one electrode to electrically contact with the at least one electrode. A fastening component is mountable on said adapter element and configured to attach the medical device externally to the patient. A contact element is mountable to the fastening component and configured to attach externally to the patient's skin for receiving biological signals and conducting said biological signals to the adapter element. A casing serves for encasing the medical device and the adapter element in a mounted state in which the adapter element is mounted on said at least one electrode.

Abstract: A lead anchor for neuromodulation includes a solid anchor block having at least one opening and a lumen. The opening is connected with the lumen and has a longitudinal axis. The lumen is configured to receive a portion of the neuromodulation lead. An anchor body at least partially covers the anchor block. A fixing element has a fastening portion and a head portion. To achieve a lead anchor that is more robust against axially acting forces, so that primarily a slippage of the lead or a slippage of the lead anchor can be prevented, the fastening portion is configured to be inserted along the axis into the opening to fix the portion of the neuromodulation lead. The head portion includes at least one first stop feature having a dimension in a radial direction with respect to the axis that is greater than a diameter of the opening.

Abstract: A header for an implantable medical device includes at least an antenna and a receptacle for receiving a signal transmission line. Either one or a combination of the antenna and the receptacle are encased in a dielectric material. The dielectric material can be one of or include one of a polymer, a ceramic material, polyoxymethylene, polysulfone, polybutylene terephthalate. A medical device and a method for assembling a medical device are also provided.
