ELONGATED IMPLANT HAVING AN EXTERNAL ENERGY COUPLING
First Claim
1. An electrotherapeutic implant (10) for stimulation of body tissue, comprising:
- at least one electric feeder line (20);
at least two electrode poles (14) which are connected to the at least one electric feeder line (20);
a demodulation unit (22);
wherein the at least one electric feeder line (20) is configured as an antenna and is in contact with the demodulation unit (22);
wherein the electrotherapeutic implant (10) is fabricated from one piece comprising a closed external form and is configured to affix at a treatment site and wherein the electrotherapeutic implant (10) is equipped with a biocompatible insulation; and
,wherein components of the electrotherapeutic implant (10) are configured so that a therapeutic energy can be received from outside of the electrotherapeutic implant (10) over the antenna as a treatment is delivered to a therapeutic target region via the at least two electrode poles (14) without storage of the therapeutic energy.
