Abstract

A driveline for an implantable blood pump including a percutaneous connector including an outer tube, the outer tube defining an exterior surface and having a proximal portion and a distal portion opposite the proximal portion, the proximal portion being couplable to the implantable blood pump disposed within a body of a patient and the distal portion being couplable to a controller outside of thebody of the patient and at least one electronic instrument coupled to the outer tube and fluidically sealed from the exterior surface of the outer tube.

Description

technical field [0001] The technology generally relates to drivelines for implantable blood pumps. Background technique [0002] When the blood pump is implanted in a human or animal patient, the drive train of the implanted blood pump provides power to the blood pump from a power source, such as an external controller. The drive train is typically formed as an elongated tube containing one or more conductors that extend percutaneously through the patient's skin near the abdomen to connect with the blood pump. However, the purpose of existing drive trains is limited to supplying power to the blood pump. Contents of the invention [0003] The technology of the present disclosure generally relates to a drive train for an implantable blood pump, the drive train including a percutaneous connector and at least one electronic instrument coupled to the drive train. [0004] In one aspect, the present disclosure provides a drive train for an implantable blood pump, the drive tra...
