  • Passive fixation of an implantable electrode lead by means of compressible anchoring elements
    Patent number: 11083890
    Abstract: An implantable device, comprising: an end section, and at least one or a plurality of anchoring elements connected to the end section for anchoring the end section of the implantable device in the tissue of a patient, the anchoring element(s) extending in an extension direction of the anchoring element(s). The anchoring element(s): has an elastically compressible design; can be arranged in a compressed state in which it is folded toward the end section; and is designed to automatically move into an expanded state in which it projects from the end section at an angle of incidence. The anchoring element(s) comprises at least one first lamella and a second lamella connected to the first lamella, and wherein the two lamellae extend along the extension direction of the anchoring element(s) and include a first angle with one another in a plane perpendicular to the extension direction of the anchoring element(s).
