Abstract

An implant system is provided, which includes an implant, including an implant body and an electrode disposed on the implant body; and a hollow needle, which is configured to be percutaneously advanceable into tissue of a subject. The hollow needle is shaped so as to define a lumen dimensioned to house the implant; at a distal end of the hollow needle, a distal end opening configured to facilitate passage of the implant therethrough from the lumen; and a lateral wall shaped so as to define a window therethrough to the lumen. Other embodiments are also described.

Claims (38)

1 . An implant system comprising:

an implant, comprising an implant body and an electrode disposed on the implant body; and

a hollow needle, which is configured to be percutaneously advanceable into tissue of a subject, and is shaped so as to define:

a lumen dimensioned to house the implant,

at a distal end of the hollow needle, a distal end opening configured to facilitate delivery of the implant from the lumen through the distal end opening for implantation in the tissue, and

a lateral wall shaped so as to define first and second windows therethrough to the lumen, the first and the second windows separate and distinct from the distal end opening,

wherein the hollow needle is shaped such that the electrode is aligned with the first window when the implant is in an aligned state within the lumen.

2 . The implant system according to claim 1 , wherein the implant comprises first and second electrodes.

3 . The implant system according to claim 2 , wherein the hollow needle is shaped such that the first and the second electrodes are aligned with the first and the second windows, respectively, when the implant is in an aligned state within the lumen.

4 . The implant system according to claim 1 , wherein the first window has a longer dimension and a shorter dimension, and the longer dimension extends around a portion of the lateral wall.

5 . The implant system according to claim 1 , wherein the hollow needle is configured to be percutaneously advanceable into the tissue while the implant is disposed within the lumen.

6 . The implant system according to claim 1 ,

wherein the implant is configured to be wirelessly powered, and

wherein the implant is configured, while within the lumen of the hollow needle, to apply current to the tissue using the electrode, in response to receiving the wireless power.

7 . The implant system according to claim 1 , further comprising a delivery manipulator, reversibly couplable to the implant, and configured to facilitate deployment of the implant through the distal end opening by remaining stationary with respect to the tissue while the hollow needle is withdrawn proximally with respect to the tissue.

8 . The implant system according to claim 1 , wherein the distal end opening is configured to facilitate the delivery of the implant from the lumen through the distal end opening along a central longitudinal axis of the needle.

9 . The implant system according to claim 1 , wherein a proximal end of the first window is located distal to a distal end of the second window.

10 . A method comprising:

percutaneously advancing an implant into tissue of a subject while the implant is disposed within a lumen of a hollow needle, the implant including an implant body and an electrode disposed on the implant body, wherein the hollow needle is shaped so as to define (a) a distal end opening at a distal end of the hollow needle and (b) a lateral wall shaped so as to define first and second windows therethrough to the lumen, the first and the second windows separate and distinct from the distal end opening; and

delivering the implant into the tissue from the lumen of the implant through the distal end opening of the hollow needle and implanting the implant in the tissue.

11 . The method according to claim 10 , further comprising passing energy through the first window while the electrode is within the lumen.

12 . The method according to claim 11 , wherein the implant includes first and second electrodes.

13 . The method according to claim 10 , wherein the hollow needle is shaped such that the electrode is aligned with the first window when the implant is in an aligned state within the lumen.

14 . The method according to claim 10 , wherein the implant includes first and second electrodes.

15 . The method according to claim 14 , wherein the hollow needle is shaped such that the first and the second electrodes are aligned with the first and the second windows, respectively, when the implant is in an aligned state within the lumen.

16 . The method according to claim 10 , wherein the first window has a longer dimension and a shorter dimension, and the longer dimension extends around a portion of the lateral wall.

17 . The method according to claim 10 ,

wherein the implant is configured to be wirelessly powered, and

wherein the method further comprises wireless transmitting power to the implant while the implant is within the lumen of the hollow needle, such that the implant applies current to the tissue using the electrode.

18 . The method according to claim 10 , wherein delivering the implant into the tissue from the lumen of the implant through a distal end opening comprises proximally withdrawing the hollow with respect to the tissue while holding stationary a delivery manipulator that is reversibly coupled to the implant.

19 . The method according to claim 10 , further comprising, after percutaneously advancing the implant into the tissue:

activating the implant to apply current to the tissue; and

thereafter, removing the hollow needle from a body of the subject.

20 . The method according to claim 19 , further comprising, after activating the implant to apply the current to the tissue and before removing the hollow needle from the body:

measuring a physiological response of the subject to the current; and

in response to the measured physiological response, repositioning the implant in the tissue.

21 . The method according to claim 10 , wherein delivering the implant into the tissue comprises delivering the implant into the tissue from the lumen of the implant through the distal end opening along a central longitudinal axis of the needle.

22 . The method according to claim 10 , wherein a proximal end of the first window is located distal to a distal end of the second window.
