摘要:
The present invention concerns an optoelectronic electrode element which isimplantable in a human or animal bodyfor placement on a biological tissue for electrically stimulating and/orsensing physiological parameters of said biological tissue andpowered by a source of light energy, said optoelectronic electrode elementcomprising: (a) an electrode module (40) comprising at leasta first and second electrodes (41, 42) each comprising an electrode surface(41s, 42s), (b) an optoelectronic module (20) comprisinga photovoltaic cell (21 a) suitable for transforming optical energy intoelectrical energy, (c) a feeding fibre optic (31a), (d) a couplingmodule (10) comprising: .cndot. a circuit receiving portion (12) forinserting, positioning, and rigidly fixing the optoelectronic module (20)to the coupling module (10); .cndot. a feeding fibre cavity (11a) forinserting and coupling the feeding fibre optic to bring it in optimal opticalcommunication with the photovoltaic cell; (e) wherein, the coupling module(10) is coupled directly to a fixing area of the electrodemodule (40), such that the photovoltaic cell be in electrical contact with thefirst and second electrodes (41, 42).
