Description

A kind of artificial cochlea's cranked electrode
Technical field
The present invention relates to a kind of electrode, particularly a kind of artificial cochlea's cranked electrode.
Background technology
Artificial cochlea is made up of i-coch implant, speech processor, mike and transporter.Sound is resent to speech processor by signal amplification, filtration by converting the signal of telecommunication after microphones to, and be sent to stimulator by conveyer, the electric pulse produced delivers to corresponding electrode contacts, thus stimulates acoustic nerve in cochlea produce excited and import acoustic information into brain, produces audition.In whole artificial cochlea system, artificial cochlea electrode is very important ingredient in artificial cochlear implant.
Artificial cochlea electrode used in the world divides straight electrode and the large class of cranked electrode two at present, straight electrode can not accomplish that nearly modiolus stimulates, cranked electrode is implanted inconvenient, if be not cannot implant in cochlea electrode Zhang Zhi before implantation, so mostly adopt the pre-buried support inner core when electrode array joins both at home and abroad, by a straight support inner core cranked electrode Zhang Zhi, during operation, insertion limit in limit is extracted out and is supported inner core, electrode inserts and supports steel core and extracts out synchronous, electrode inserts too fast easy damage cochlea or bending supports steel core, electrode inserted slow, supporting-core is extracted out and too fastly is easily made electrode tip hook back to be stuck in cochlea cannot replant in cochlea, owing to cannot turn back in electrode again after supporting-core extraction, electrode cannot insert cochlea again, can only more go to implant by transducer set implant, operation is caused to be interrupted, operating time is long, Cochlea is increased the weight of, in art, visual effect is also bad simultaneously, does not see the concrete situation of insertion, easily scratches electrode colloidal silica and wire electrode insulating barrier, make electric pole short circuit, owing to there being supporting-core, electrod-array is thick, is difficult to make very thin shape, affects implantation depth.
The contact that artificial cochlea electrode battle array connection used in the world at present adopts has three kinds, and one is spherical, and another kind is annular, also has one to be sheet shape.Spherical point contacts electrode array connection exposed area is little, and power consumption is large, stimulates insufficient.Ring contacts electrod-array is that whole circle stimulates, although exposed area is large, it is excited that it may cause the nerve beyond auditory nerve to produce, and impact stimulates object.Between sheet shape contact electrode battle array connection exposed area Jie joins with spherical point contacts electrode array and ring contacts electrode array, and not that whole circle stimulates.Prior art adopts sheet shape contact battle array connection, and stick to Silica Surface, surface area is little, and resistance value is high, easily comes off, and wire electrode Welding Structure reliability is not high, and solder joint region electrode silk does not cushion, and easily produces open circuit, and implant was lost efficacy.
Summary of the invention
