IMPLANTABLE MEDICAL LEAD CONDUCTOR HAVING CARBON NANOTUBE WIRE

IMPLANTABLE MEDICAL LEAD CONDUCTOR HAVING CARBON NANOTUBE WIRE

An implantable medical leads has a conductor that includes one or more metal wires and one or more carbon nanotube wires extending in substantially the same direction as the one or more metal wires. Such conductors may result in less MRI-induced heating at electrodes of leads than conductors that do...

Zusammenfassung:An implantable medical leads has a conductor that includes one or more metal wires and one or more carbon nanotube wires extending in substantially the same direction as the one or more metal wires. Such conductors may result in less MRI-induced heating at electrodes of leads than conductors that do not contain carbon nanotubes. L'invention concerne un fil médical implantable qui comporte un conducteur qui comprend un ou plusieurs fils métalliques et un ou plusieurs fils de nanotubes de carbone s'étendant dans sensiblement la même direction que le ou les fils métalliques. De tels conducteurs peuvent provoquer moins de chauffage induit par IRM au niveau des électrodes des fils que le font des conducteurs qui ne contiennent pas de nanotubes de carbone.
