  • Publication number: 20250018178
    Abstract: A medical electrode device for implantation into a patient comprises a carrier element formed from an electrically insulating material, a contact element arranged on the carrier element and comprising a contact portion for coupling to tissue in an implanted state of the medical electrode device, and an electrical supply line connected to the contact element. The contact element comprises first and second fastening sections, the first and second fastening sections arranged at a distance with respect to each other along a length direction, and the electrical supply line connected to the contact element at the first fastening section and the second fastening section such that the electrical supply line is arranged at a distance with respect to the contact portion along a height direction oriented perpendicularly to the length direction. A portion of the carrier element extends through a space in between the contact portion and the electrical supply line.

  • Patent number: 12023485
    Abstract: An electrode contact for an electrode lead for neurostimulation comprises a contact body including a contact surface for contacting human or animal neural tissue. The electrode contact furthermore comprises an arm section for contacting at least one electrical supply lead, wherein the arm section, originating from the contact body, extends laterally in a first spatial direction which runs parallel to a main extension plane of the contact surface. The arm section includes at least one cut-out for guiding through the at least one electrical supply lead.
