Abstract:
This application describes a miniature implantable neurostimulator system for sciatic nerves and their branches. The implanted miniature neurostimulator is implanted in the leg and stimulates these nerves for the treatment of urinary or bowel incontinence. The miniature implantable neurostimulator has a low duty cycle permitting a small size with medically-acceptable longevity. The system includes a wireless programmer and patient-activated key fob.

Claim (Index 1):
An implantable device for permanent implantation in a body of a subject for long-term use to stimulate tissue, the device comprising:\n an enclosure configured to be implanted in a body of a subject; circuitry disposed within the enclosure, the circuitry being configured to generate a stimulation signal with a low duty cycle of between 0.1% and 2.5% and a low background current drain of between 0.1 \u03bcA and 5 \u03bcA; a battery disposed within the enclosure and coupled to the circuitry, the battery providing power to the circuitry to generate the stimulation signal; an electrode assembly coupled to the enclosure and the circuitry, the electrode assembly configured to direct the generated stimulation signal to the tissue of the subject; and a lead coupling the electrode assembly to the enclosure and separating at least a portion of the electrode assembly from the enclosure, wherein the low duty cycle and low current drain of the generated stimulation signal combine to provide a useful life of the implantable device implanted in the body of at least 5 years without removal from the body.
