Abstract[English]
Presented herein are techniques for securing/fixing implantable medical devices in a recipient using soft tissue. As described further below, implantable medical devices in accordance with certain embodiments presented herein include one or more suture zones that enable a surgeon to suture the implantable medical device to soft tissue of the recipient and, accordingly, at least temporarily secure the implantable medical devices at a selected location in the recipient. After the implantable medical device is sutured to the tissue, soft tissue growth can further secure or stabilize the implantable medical device in the recipient.[French]
L'invention concerne des techniques permettant de fixer des dispositifs médicaux implantables chez un receveur à l'aide de tissus mous. Comme décrit plus en détail ci-dessous, les dispositifs médicaux implantables selon certains modes de réalisation présentés ici comprennent une ou plusieurs zones de suture qui permettent à un chirurgien de suturer le dispositif médical implantable aux tissus mous du receveur et, par conséquent, de fixer au moins temporairement les dispositifs médicaux implantables à un emplacement sélectionné chez le receveur. Une fois le dispositif médical implantable suturé au tissu, la croissance des tissus mous peut renforcer la fixation ou la stabilisation du dispositif médical implantable chez le receveur.
