Wireless Stimulation System with Compact, Hermetically Sealed Enclosure

A wireless stimulation system for treating chronic pain and other conditions, featuring a compact, hermetically sealed enclosure with an integrated antenna and internal circuitry for frequency waveform and electrical energy rectification, allowing for efficient and reliable stimulation of targeted nerve tissue.

The original patent for 'Stimulation with electrode arrays' provided a foundation for implantable stimulators, but it had limitations in terms of device size, power consumption, and reliability. The new inventive concept addresses these limitations by introducing a compact, hermetically sealed enclosure with an integrated antenna, enabling wireless power transmission and reducing the device's overall size while increasing its efficiency and reliability.

The wireless stimulation system consists of an implantable, wireless stimulation device with a compact, hermetically sealed enclosure housing internal circuitry for frequency waveform and electrical energy rectification, and a plurality of electrodes configured to apply electrical pulses to targeted nerve tissue. The device is powered wirelessly via microwave energy transmitted from an external controller and antenna. The system enables efficient and reliable stimulation of targeted nerve tissue, making it suitable for treating chronic pain and other conditions. The compact design and wireless power transmission capabilities reduce the device's size and power consumption, increasing its overall efficiency and reliability.

The new claims introduce a novel compact, hermetically sealed enclosure with an integrated antenna, which enables wireless power transmission and reduces the device's overall size while increasing its efficiency and reliability. This represents a significant improvement over the original patent, which did not disclose such a compact and efficient design.

Alternative embodiments of the wireless stimulation system could include different shapes and sizes of the compact enclosure, varying numbers and configurations of electrodes, and different modes of wireless power transmission. Additionally, the system could be adapted for use in various medical applications, such as treating heart arrhythmias or vascular insufficiency.

The wireless stimulation system has significant commercial potential in the medical device industry, particularly in the fields of pain management, neurology, and cardiology. The system's compact design, efficiency, and reliability make it an attractive solution for patients and healthcare providers, offering a competitive advantage in the market.
