IMPLANTABLE ELEMENT AND ELECTRONIC IMPLANT
First Claim
1. An implantable element configured to implement a medical function comprising:
- a main body that is elongated;
a functional conductor which extends in a longitudinal direction of the main body or forms said main body, and which comprisesan inductive section that comprisesa magnetic flux generation element configured to generate a magnetic flux, and/oran insertion or attachment element configured to accept said magnetic flux generation element surrounding the functional conductor or proximally to said inductive section; and
,wherein said magnetic flux generation element is magnetically coupled to the functional conductor in such a way that the magnetic flux generated upon a current flux through the functional conductor is counteracted and a current flux density through the functional conductor is thus reduced.

Abstract
Implantable element having an elongate main body, a functional conductor which extends in the longitudinal direction of the main body or forms it, and which acts to implement a medical function of the element and has an inductive section, and magnetic flux generation means for generating a magnetic flux in the surroundings of the functional conductor, in particular of its inductive section, which are magnetically coupled to the functional conductor in such a way that the magnetic flux generated upon a current flux through the functional conductor is counteracted and the current flux density through the functional conductor is thus reduced.

15. An electronic implant or cardiac pacemaker or implantable defibrillator comprising:
-
a connection element configured to connect to an implantable element wherein said connection element comprises a main body that is elongated; a functional conductor which extends in a longitudinal direction of the main body or forms said main body, and which comprises an inductive section that comprises a magnetic flux generation element configured to generate a magnetic flux, and/or an insertion or attachment element configured to accept said magnetic flux generation element surrounding the functional conductor or proximally to said inductive section; wherein said magnetic flux generation element is magnetically coupled to the functional conductor in such a way that the magnetic flux generated upon a current flux through the functional conductor is counteracted and a current flux density through the functional conductor is thus reduced; and
,and/or an integrated magnetic flux generation element configured to generate a magnetic flux surrounding the functional conductor, or said inductive section, which is magnetically coupled to the functional conductor in such a way that the magnetic flux generated upon said current flux through the functional conductor is counteracted and the current flux density through the functional conductor is thus reduced.
