Embodiment Construction

[0038] From the above it can be seen that more and more implanted medical devices need to be continuously powered by an electrical connection cable that acts as a power supply cable, this electrical connection cable is placed percutaneously, so the disadvantage is that it may be infected at the percutaneous access point, And the possibility of this infection spreading to implanted medical devices is something that is sought to be avoided.

[0039] Aside from a certain number of medical devices that do not stop working long enough to be able to replace an infected power supply cable without putting the patient's life at risk, there are also a certain number of situations where The supply cable cannot be replaced independently of the medical device. In these cases, the entire medical assembly, consisting of the implanted medical device and the percutaneous power supply cable, must be replaced if we wish to stop the infection from developing, which represents a very difficult tim...

Abstract

The invention relates to an electrical connection device (1) to be implanted inside the body of an animal to enable an electrical connection among a plurality of electrical wires, characterized in that it includes: a housing (10) including at least one opening (11) that is formed on the surface of said housing (10) at the end of at least one recess provided inside the housing (10), said recess being intended for receiving a first electrical wire through the opening (11); an electrical interconnection means (8) for establishing an electrical connection between said first electrical wire and at least one second electrical wire; a means for holding the first electrical wire in place inside the corresponding recess, said holding means including a cam (13) that is rotatably mounted in the housing so as to press said first electrical wire against the inside walls of the recess when the cam (13) is rotated in a direction for inserting said first electrical wire inside the corresponding recess.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to electrical connections in the medical field, and more particularly to electrical connection devices implantable in animals, especially in humans. Background technique [0002] Over the past few years, there have been major advances in electrical devices designed to fit inside patients. We could cite medical devices implanted to compensate for the failure of natural organs such as the heart, devices that monitor certain physiological parameters, or even specialized treatments adapted to deliver specific doses within specific parts of the body at designated times devices for sexually active substances as non-limiting examples. [0003] It is not uncommon for this development to lead to the implantation of several electrical medical devices in the same patient. This is the case, for example, with certain treatments that must be performed in several separate areas, with implanted electrical devices that oversee the operat...
