A stimulation system is disclosed that may include a stimulator unit coupled to electrode contacts on a cuff. In one embodiment, the cuff may be placed at least partially around a nerve. The stimulation system may include at least two electrode contacts disposed on the cuff such that a distance between the at least two electrode contacts various along a length of the electrode contacts. In another embodiment, a plurality of electrode contacts are disposed on the cuff such that distances between at least one electrode contact within the plurality of electrode contacts and each electrode contact immediately adjacent to the at least one electrode contact are different. The stimulator unit may also be implantable.

La présente invention concerne un système de stimulation pouvant comporter une unité de stimulation couplée à des contacts d'électrodes sur un manchon. Dans un mode de réalisation, le manchon peut être placé au moins en partie autour d'un nerf. Le système de stimulation peut comporter au moins deux contacts d'électrodes disposés sur le manchon de sorte qu'une distance entre les deux contacts d'électrodes varie selon la longueur des contacts d'électrodes. Dans un autre mode de réalisation, une pluralité de contacts d'électrodes sont disposés sur le manchon de sorte que des distances entre au moins un contact d'électrodes au sein de la pluralité de contacts d'électrodes et chaque électrode de contact immédiatement adjacent à ce contact d'électrodes soient différentes. L'unité de stimulation peut également être implantable.
