Example one
An implantable pacemaker as shown in fig. 1-9, the pacemaker 1 includes a pacemaker body 3 and an electrode connecting terminal 2; the pacemaker body 3 and the electrode connecting terminal 2 are bonded as a whole by using a biocompatible epoxy resin or silicone rubber. The electrode connecting end 2 is connected with an electrode lead 18 for sensing electrocardiosignals of a human body.
Specifically, the material of the electrode connection end 2 is a biocompatible polymer material, such as one or more of epoxy resin, thermoplastic polyurethane elastomer rubber (TPU), polyether ether ketone (PEEK), Polysulfone (PSF), and the like. The pacemaker body 3 has a metal shell made of biocompatible titanium metal, typically pure titanium or titanium alloy. The pacemaker main body 3 shell is formed by closing two half shells, and is melted at a joint position through laser firing to form an airtight sealed metal shell.
In this embodiment, the electrode connection end 2 is internally provided with electrode lead cavities 5-1 to 5-2, an operation wire tying hole 4, fastening screws 12-1 to 12-2, silica gel sealing plugs 14-1 to 14-2, electrical connectors A10-1 to 10-2, electrical connectors B11-1 to 11-2, metal connecting wires 13-1 to 13-4 and a Bluetooth antenna 9. A PCB circuit module 15, a battery 16, feed-through assemblies 8-1-8-2, a program control coil 17 and the like are arranged in the pacemaker main body 3; the battery 16, the feed-through assemblies 8-1-8-2 and the program control coil 17 are electrically connected with the PCB circuit module 15.
Specifically, the battery 16 is specifically a lithium-carbon fluoride medium-rate battery; the battery 16 is used to drive the bluetooth chip on the PCB circuit module 15 and provide a duration of up to 15 years or more for the whole pacemaker 1. PCB circuit module 15 is used to deliver cardiac pacing pulse signals and sense and process signals generated by the myocardium. The feed-through assemblies 8-1-8-2 are used for transmitting myocardial electrical signals inside and outside the pacemaker main body 3, and optionally, the feed-through assemblies 8-1-8-2 with filtering functions can be adopted, so that interference signals transmitted from the outside of the pacemaker main body 3 to the inside of the pacemaker main body 3 can be filtered, and the interference signals are eliminated for the PCB circuit module 15. The program control coil 17 is mainly used for wireless communication between the program control instrument 20 and the pacemaker 1. By means of the programming coil 17, the programmer 20 can set the functional parameters of the pacemaker 1 appropriately and read the historical heart rate data of the patient.
Specifically, the PCB circuit module 15 is directly or indirectly connected with the lead wires on the feed-through assemblies 8-1-8-2; the PCB circuit module 15 is directly or indirectly connected with the battery 16; the PCB circuit module 15 is directly connected to the programming coil 17.
In this embodiment, the top surface that pacemaker body 3 and electrode connection end 2 are connected is the plane, is provided with a piece of metal's development sign 7 on the plane for the discernment of pacemaker 1 brand. The visualization marker 7 is connected to the pacemaker body 3 by welding.
The feed-through assemblies 8-1-8-2 are arranged on a plane on the top of the pacemaker body 3, and holes corresponding to the feed-through assemblies 8-1-8-2 are formed in the plane. The feed-through assemblies 8-1-8-2 are provided with flange plates located at the positions of the holes, and due to the limiting effect of the flange plates on the feed-through assemblies 8-1-8-2, the lower half parts of the feed-through assemblies 8-1-8-2 penetrate through the holes in the pacemaker body 3 and extend into the pacemaker body 3, and the upper half parts of the feed-through assemblies are exposed outside. The feed-through units 8-1 to 8-2 and the pacemaker body 3 are welded together by laser to form a hermetically sealed body along the contour of the flange on the feed-through units 8-1 to 8-2. So set up, can realize the reliable sealed of feed through subassembly 8-1 ~ 8-2 and pacemaker body 3.
Each feed-through assembly 8-1-8-2 is provided with a plurality of leads which penetrate through the head end and the tail end of the whole feed-through assembly 8-1-8-2. The lead extending out of the tail end is arranged inside the pacemaker body 3 and is directly or indirectly connected with the PCB circuit module 15; the lead extending out of the head end is exposed out of the pacemaker body 3 and is used for being directly or indirectly connected with the Bluetooth antenna 9, the electrical connecting pieces A10-1-10-2 and the electrical connecting pieces B11-1-11-2.
The pacemaker shown in fig. 4 is a dual-chamber pacemaker, which includes two feed-through components 8-1 to 8-2, and the two feed-through components 8-1 to 8-2 have eight leads. Two electrode lead cavities 5-1-5-2 are arranged in an electrode connecting end 2 of the double-cavity pacemaker, and each electrode lead cavity 5-1-5-2 is provided with four electrical connecting pieces including one electrical connecting piece A10-1-10-2 and one electrical connecting piece B11-1-11-2. The four electrical connectors are respectively connected with the leads on the feed-through assemblies 8-1-8-2 through four metal connecting wires 13-1-13-4. In addition, the tail of the Bluetooth antenna 9 also needs to be connected with a conducting wire on the feed-through assemblies 8-1-8-2. Therefore, at least five leads are required on the feed-through components 8-1-8-2 of the dual-cavity pacemaker to meet the design requirements. A three-lumen pacemaker would then contain three electrode lead lumens with six electrical connections and a bluetooth antenna, for a total of seven leads connected to the feedthrough assembly, as shown in fig. 8. Therefore, the feed-through assembly with four leads can support the same structural design of various models of a single-cavity pacemaker, a double-cavity pacemaker and a triple-cavity pacemaker (CRT-P), wherein the single-cavity pacemaker only has one electrode lead cavity, and the feed-through assemblies 8-1-8-2 can also be used.
The Bluetooth antenna 9 is arranged above the top of the pacemaker main body 3, and the tail end of the Bluetooth antenna 9 is connected with one of the leads of the feed-through assemblies 8-1-8-2. Bluetooth antenna 9 is mainly used for realizing pacemaker 1 and bluetooth receiving terminal 19's wireless communication, can transmit the daily cardiac pacing information of patient of storage in pacemaker 1 to bluetooth receiving terminal 19, and bluetooth receiving terminal 19 rethread internet uploads the patient's archives database of hospital to the information received, supplies the doctor remote monitoring patient's state of an illness.
Two electrical connecting pieces A10-1-10-2 and two electrical connecting pieces B11-1-11-2 are further arranged above the top of the pacemaker body 3.
