Publication number: 20250018178Abstract: 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.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 28, 2022Publication date: January 16, 2025Applicant: BIOTRONIK SE & Co. KGInventors: Patrick Willenberg, Dajana Kaiser, Kerstin Taeubert, Tobias Mueller, Thomas Schaarschmidt, Roland Eichberg
