| Number | Title | Issue Date |
| 5324312 | Tool-less threaded connector assembly A lead connection suitable for use in connecting a flexible coiled lead to an implantable device. The implantable device is provided with a threaded projection having an outer diameter sized with respect to the inner diameter of the lead's conductor coil ... | 06/28/1994 |
| 5324310 | Cardiac pacemaker with auto-capture function A pacemaker having two bipolar leads, one atrial, one ventricular, each with TIP and RING electrodes, configured as for conventional bipolar pacing/sensing in both chambers. Switching circuitry in the pacemaker is operable to select from among various pos... | 06/28/1994 |
| 5284491 | Cardiac pacemaker with hysteresis behavior A pacemaker having a hysteresis feature which permits intrinsic heart activity, controlled by the sinus node to resume optimally after pacing. The pacemaker has a programmable lower rate and upper rate, a programmable lower hysteresis rate (LRH) correspon... | 02/08/1994 |
| 5273518 | Cardiac assist apparatus Regulators for improved cardiac assist systems of the type including skeletal muscle powered fluid pressure means, a cardiac cup and/or an aortic balloon pump. The regulators convert the positive pressures generated by contracting muscle into both positiv... | 12/28/1993 |
| 5265608 | Steroid eluting electrode for peripheral nerve stimulation An improved electrode for establishing electrical contact with a nerve of a patient. This electrical contact may be used to sense neural activity on the nerve or to artificially stimulate it to perform various medical treatments. One embodiment of the ele... | 11/30/1993 |
| 5265602 | Ring-to-ring cardiac electrogram pacemaker A pacemaker having two bipolar leads, one atrial, one ventricular, each with TIP and RING electrodes, configured as for conventional bipolar pacing/sensing in both chambers. Switching circuitry in the pacemaker is operable to select from among various pos... | 11/30/1993 |
| 5257622 | Locking connector for implantable device A conical annulus formed on a pacer lead body engages a deformable retention ring formed on the connector block to hold the lead in the pacer.... | 11/02/1993 |
| 5241957 | Bipolar temporary pacing lead and connector and permanent bipolar nerve wire A temporary heart wire, and external connector therefore, and the combination of the two, wherein the distal end of the heart wire includes a temporary affixation coil (8) and distal pacing (2) and sensing (1) electrodes connected by means of a coaxial he... | 09/07/1993 |
| 5233984 | Implantable multi-axis position and activity sensor A multi-axis, multi-purpose sensor for use with implantable medical devices, and for simultaneously detecting the patient's posture and activity level. The sensor includes a hermetically sealed, fluid-tight, bio-compatible housing. The housing is formed o... | 08/10/1993 |
| 5226413 | Rate responsive pacemaker and method for automatically initializing the same A pacemaker system includes a dual sensor implantable pacemaker and an external programmer for automatically and simultaneously optimizing and initializing a plurality of pacing parameters. The pacemaker includes means for automatically initializing a sen... | 07/13/1993 |
| 5205810 | Muscle powered cardiac assist system A method and apparatus for providing assistance to a patient's heart using a surgically prepared skeletal muscle. A skeletal muscle, such as the latissimus dorsi, is carefully separated from the skeletal structure leaving enervation and vascularization in... | 04/27/1993 |
