AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

Existing implantable medical devices face challenges in maintaining a stable and fixed position within the body to ensure efficient energy transfer and minimize the need for repeated surgical procedures.

Method used

The implantable medical device is configured to be held in place by engaging with a patient's tissue using specific cross-sectional areas and connecting portions that prevent movement, allowing for secure placement and efficient energy transfer without requiring frequent repositioning.

Benefits of technology

The solution ensures stable positioning of the device, facilitating accurate energy transfer and reducing the need for repeated surgeries, thereby enhancing the device's functionality and patient comfort.

Abstract

The present invention provides an implantable, energized medical device configured to be held in place by a tissue portion of a patient, the medical device comprising: a first portion configured to be positioned on a first side of the tissue portion, the first portion having a first cross-sectional area in a first plane and comprising a first surface configured to face a first tissue surface of the first side of the tissue portion; a second portion configured to be positioned on a second side of the tissue portion, the second side facing the first side, the second portion having a second cross-sectional area in a second plane and comprising a second surface configured to engage a second tissue surface of the second side of the tissue portion; and a connecting portion configured to be positioned through a hole in the tissue portion extending between the first side and the second side of the tissue portion, the connecting portion having a third cross-sectional area in a third plane and having a third surface configured to engage a first tissue surface on the first side of the tissue portion and configured to connect the first portion to the second portion, the first plane, the second plane, and the third plane being parallel to one another, and the third cross-sectional area being smaller than the first cross-sectional area and the second cross-sectional area, preventing the first portion, the second portion, and the connecting portion from moving through the hole in the tissue portion in a direction perpendicular to the first, second, and third planes.
