Implant for an intracorporeal, telemetric measurement
The invention relates to an implant for an intracorporeal telemetric measurement according to the preamble of patent claim.
In such from US 6, 083, 174 known implant a sensor device with an inductive coil via disposed on an elongate carrier electrical wiring being electrically connected. The sensor means and the carrier: the interconnecting lines and the coil are encapsulated in a sheath. The sensor means and the coil and the electrical connecting conductors are arranged on a flexible foil. both the power supply of the sensor inputs direction as well as the telemetric transmission of the measured values ​​of the sensor device via the inductive coupling of the coil. With the known implant intracranial pressure measurements can be performed.
Object of the invention is to provide an implant of the type mentioned, is facilitating its implantation, particularly in personal interiors, for example, interior spaces of the brain.
This object is achieved by the characterizing Merkma le of claim 1.
In dex invention, the support for the electrical encryption on connecting lines a such dimension rigidity and strength, that the sensor device, which is fixedly connected to a carrier end-implant by means of the carrier in the import led to the destination, and positioned at the destination, particularly in position is maintained. To this end, it is the inductive coil encapsulating covering member for subcutaneous attachment, designed especially epidural fixation.
With the implanted sensor device which detects the inductive coil encapsulated shell part is connected to the relatively rigid support can intrakra- nielle, such as intraparenchymal or intraventriku- lare pressure measurements are performed.
For appropriate subcutaneous, especially epidural arrangement of the inductive coil may, after the positioning of the sensor device at the target location, the coil with its plane in which the coil windings are arranged relative to the support at an angle of <180 °, especially 60 ° to 120 ° be angled. Between the sensor device and the coil has two electrical connecting lines are preferably provided in particular for a digital data transmission on the carrier. These are used for power supply of the sensor device and to transmit the etry for telecommunications processed measurement data.
The carrier may for example be formed as a thin polyimide film, which optionally has for stiffening, a cambered shape. The carrier may also be rod-shaped with a rectangular cross-section or circular segment cross-section. It is also possible to provide a stiffening sheet in the envelope, with which the carrier and the connecting lines thereon are encapsulated. However, a flat shape of the carrier and the encapsulated him envelope is preferred. The sensor device includes at least one sensor, with which the physical quantities can be measured at the destination. Preferably, the sensor means includes at least one pressure sensor and optionally additionally a temperature sensor. A telemetry electronics may be provided in the sensor device in order to prepare the measurement signals of the sensor for a telemetric transfer by the inductive coil. The at least one pressure sensor and the telemetry electronics may be housed in a schip Mes. The sheath is made of a biocompatible material such as silicone. In the area of ​​the one or more pressure sensors, the envelope may be formed so that this passes the pressure to be measured for at least one pressure sensor. For example, at least in the region of the pressure sensor, a flexible sheath, in which the like a pressure-transmitting medium, preferably a gel, a silicone-based oil or the like. Is disposed are used.
With reference to the figures, the invention is explained in more detail using exemplary embodiments.
Fig. 1 shows an embodiment of the invention with open towards the top enclosure;
2 shows a second embodiment of the invention with an open envelope. and
Fig. 3 is an exploded view of the Äusführungsbeispiele in Fig. 1 and 2 in the region of the sensor device. The embodiments of an implant for an intracorporeal telemetric measurement shown in the figures include a sensor device 1 and an inductive ■ coil 2, which are electrically connected via electrical connecting lines. 4 In the illustrated embodiments, two electrical connecting lines 4 are provided. The electrical connecting lines are preferably as metallizations of precious metal, in particular gold, is applied to an elongate carrier. 3 The elongate carrier 3 may be formed as a foil made of a suitable plastic, for example polyimide, or as an elongated rod. Preferably, the carrier as shown in the figures, designed as a flat support having a rectangular cross section.
The carrier 3 has a preset rigidity which is such that the sensor means 1, which is a carrier end is securely connected to the guided during implantation to 'destination by means of the carrier 3 and is held in position at the destination. The carrier 3 is formed for this purpose sufficiently stiff but yet flexible enough to allow the implantation without irritation of the surrounding body tissue can be performed. At the other end of the support 3 is rigidly connected to a coil 2 encapsulating shell part. 6 The sheath part 6 is configured for subcutaneous attachment and, for example in intracranial Druckπiessung for epidural assembly and fixation.
For fixed connection of the sensor device 3 to the carrier end of a carrier firmly connected to the end 3 of frame 10 is provided on the carrier. 3 This frame 10 may be integrally formed from the carrier material. 3 In assembly, the sensor device 1 is located within the rectangular frame opening. The individual components of the implant are rare veirkap- of a biocompatible sheath 5, for example made of silicone. This envelope 5, which can in particular be formed in the region of the sensor device as a gel or oil comprehensive, flexible film, which includes the coil 2 encapsulated enveloping part 6, a carrier and the connecting lines 4 on top encapsulating Umhtil- averaging part 9 and the sensor device 1 encapsulating shell part. 7
The shell part 7 is formed such that it is permeable to at the destination to be measured physical quantity. Preferably, it acts for a pressure measurement as drucküiber- bearing medium, for example, of silicone or a fo- lienumhülltes gel.
In the example shown in the Fig. 1 embodiment are located, the sensor device 1 and the coil turns 8 of the inductive coil 2 in a common plane. The coil windings may be formed as electrical conductor tracks, metallizations, thin wires, and the like. In the illustrated in Fig. 2 embodiment, the carrier 3 with the extending thereon connecting lines 4 and the sensor device 1 in an angle of about 90 ° relative to the plane in which the coil turns 8 are arranged. This angled arrangement is made by bending the coil assembly of the implantation of the sensor device 1 and the carrier. 3 Depending on the location of the destination and the position in which the inductive coil is placed subcutaneously 2, the angle between the support 3 and the plane of the coil turns 8 to <180 °, in particular to a size in the range of 60 ° to 120 ° dimensioned. To facilitate implantation the enveloping member 6 and the coil assembly in the casing part 6 is designed to be sufficiently flexible for folding or rolling. For subcutaneous fixing the covering member 6 can have fixing elements 11, on which, for example, by stitching a fixation of the coil and thus of the implant is achieved.
