Definitions
- This invention generally relates to surgical tools and more specifically to tools and a method used for implanting medical devices within bone.
- U.S. Patent No. 5,167,222 discloses a well known functional neuromuscular stimulation system. Such systems typically include a implantable stimulator telemeter devices (1ST). The 1ST is powered through a transcutaneous radio-frequency link which also controls the 1ST from an external control unit. Wires run from the 1ST to various muscles of the body which are to be stimulated.
- a sensor which may detect the relative motion between bones or muscles is used.
- a common type of sensor system is a combination of a magnet and a magnetic field (Hall Effect) sensor.
- the Hall Effect sensor can detect motion of the magnet and can send an electrical signal to a processor.
- the electrical signal can be used to control the actions of the 1ST.
- Tools exist for placing simple attachments onto bones For example, a miniature screwdriver may be used to insert bone screws into bones. The situation is more complex however when the elements to be implanted are a sensor system including magnets. Electrical leads typically extend from an end of the sensor. Thus, common insertion tools which mate with the end of an element cannot be used.
