Detailed Description
The present invention will be described in detail below by way of examples with reference to the accompanying drawings.
Fig. 1 is a schematic diagram of an animal vagus nerve stimulation system according to a first embodiment of the present invention, which includes an animal vagus nerve stimulation electrode, a connector 140, a protective gel 141, and an external stimulator (not shown). The animal vagus nerve stimulation electrode includes a protective tube 110, two stimulation contacts 120, and two coated leads 130.
The protective tube 110 is a flexible cylindrical plastic tube having an opening 113 along an axial direction, and a surgical suture 111 is provided at both sides of the opening. Pulling the two surgical sutures 111 to both sides pulls the axial opening 113 of the protective tube open, and the axial opening of the protective tube 110 can be restored to the original shape after the surgical sutures 111 are released. The outer diameter of the protective tube 110 is 0.5 to 2mm, preferably 1.3 mm; the length is 3-8mm, preferably 5 mm. The protective tube 110 is made of silicone, polyurethane, or polyurethane-silicone rubber copolymer, and plays an insulating role.
The two stimulating contacts 120 are hollow semi-annular shaped metal pieces. The material is platinum or platinum-iridium alloy. The stimulating contact 120 has an inner ring diameter of 0.1 to 1mm, preferably 0.4mm, an outer ring diameter corresponding to the inner diameter of the protective tube 110, and the inner diameter of the protective tube 110 being 0.4mm to 1.8mm, preferably 0.9 mm. The distance between the two stimulating contacts 120 is 1-5mm, preferably 3 mm; the length of the two stimulation contacts 120 is 0.3mm to 2mm, preferably 0.5 mm. The inner ring of the stimulation contact 120 contacts the vagus nerve 200, and the outer ring is attached and secured to the inner wall of the protective tube 110. The axes of the two stimulating contacts 120 are coincident with the axis of the protective tube 110, and the center normal of the inner circular arc faces the axial opening position of the protective tube 110. The hollow structure of the stimulating contact 120 may accommodate the coated lead 130.
The electrode has two coated wires 130, one end of each of the two coated wires 130 penetrates into the hollow portion of the stimulation contact 120 and is welded thereto, and the other end of each of the two coated wires 130 penetrates radially from the inner wall of the protection tube 110 at an axially intermediate position thereof. The end portions are welded to the corresponding connectors 140. The lead is made of stainless steel wires, cobalt-chromium-molybdenum alloy wires, nickel-titanium alloy wires, platinum-iridium alloy wires and the like, and can exist in a stranded wire or spiral wire mode so as to improve the integral fatigue resistance of the electrode.
The plug 140 is used for connecting an external stimulator (not shown). The plug 140 may be a micro usb male and female head, a dupont head, a wiring terminal, an alligator clip, etc. The exposed pin and pad area of the connector 140 is covered by a protective adhesive 141, which acts as an electrical insulator. The material of the protective adhesive 141 may be silicon rubber, polyurethane, or epoxy resin.
The position of the outer side of the protective tube 110, which is adjacent to the contact point on one side, is provided with a colored marking band 112 for distinguishing the anode and the cathode of the electrode, so that the implantation direction of the electrode can be conveniently determined during the operation.
Fig. 2 is a schematic diagram of an animal vagus nerve stimulation system including an animal vagus nerve stimulation electrode, an in-body stimulator 150 according to a second embodiment of the present invention. The animal vagus nerve stimulation electrode includes a protective tube 110, two stimulation contacts 120, and two coated leads 130. The coated lead 130 in this embodiment is connected directly to the in vivo stimulator 150. In this embodiment, the features of the other parts of the electrode are the same as those of the first embodiment.
The external stimulator or the internal stimulator 150 includes two parts, i.e., a circuit board 151 and a protective housing 152, and the circuit board 151 can output an electrical signal with fixed frequency, pulse width and amplitude. In the first embodiment described above, the plug 140 is connected to an extracorporeal stimulator; in the second embodiment, the coated wire 130 is soldered to the circuit board 151 at the end thereof extending out of the protective tube. The protective case 152 is located outside the circuit board 151, and can insulate the circuit board 151 from the outside and thus serve as an electrical insulator. As in the second embodiment, isolates the body fluid from the circuit board 151. The material of the protective casing 152 is silicon rubber, polyurethane, epoxy resin, etc.
The invention also provides a manufacturing method of the animal vagus nerve system, which comprises the following steps: the coated wire 130 is laser welded to the hollow position of the contact 120, and then the outer ring of the contact 120 is fixedly attached to the inner wall of the protection tube 110 by using the bio-adhesive, so that the arc center direction of the inner ring of the contact 120 is ensured to face the axial opening position of the protection tube 110. The other end of the coated wire 130 is radially extended from the axial middle position of the protective tube 110 and welded or crimped with the plug 140. The exposed part of the plug connector pin and the welding point are coated by protective glue 141, so as to ensure the mutual insulation between the positive electrode and the negative electrode. The external stimulator may be detachably connected to the plug 140. In the absence of the plug 140, the other end of the coated wire 130 is connected to the in vivo stimulator 150, and the coated wire 130 is welded or crimped directly to the in vivo stimulator 150 in a manner that is not removable.
Fig. 3 is a schematic illustration of an implantation procedure for the animal vagus nerve stimulation system of the present invention. The implantation method of the stimulation system comprises the following steps: step 1, after the animals are anesthetized, the neck is cut in the middle, the left side carotid sheath is exposed, and the vagus nerve trunk is separated by about 1 cm; step 2, the surgical suture 111 of the electrode protection tube 110 is pulled in the direction indicated by the arrow in fig. 3(a), the axial opening 113 is pulled open, and the inner rings of the two stimulation contacts 120 are exposed as shown in fig. 3(b) after the axial opening 113 is pulled open. Step 3, the vagus nerve 200 is placed within the protective tube 110 and contacted with the inner ring of the stimulation contacts 120, as shown in fig. 3 (c). In step 4, the surgical suture 111 is released and the protective tube 110 is restored to its original shape, confirming that the protective tube 110 completely covers the vagus nerve 200. Two surgical non-absorbable sutures 300 are then tied tightly at the two contact points 120, respectively, outside the protective tube 110 to secure the position of the electrodes on the vagus nerve 200, as shown in fig. 3 (d). Finally, the plug 140 is subcutaneously tunneled to the neck of the rat and fixed to the skull of the animal with dental cement. The connector 140 is connected to an external stimulator to deliver an electrical signal to the vagus nerve of the animal. If the coated lead 130 is directly connected to the in vivo stimulator 150, the in vivo stimulator 150 may be placed and secured subcutaneously on the back or abdomen of the animal.
The present invention is not limited to the above embodiments, and any changes or substitutions that can be easily made by those skilled in the art within the technical scope of the present invention are also within the scope of the present invention. Therefore, the protection scope of the present invention shall be subject to the protection scope of the claims.
