ABSTRACT:
An implantable medical system, having an implanted therapy-generating apparatus which administers a medical therapy in vivo to a treatment site remote from the therapy-generating apparatus, includes at least one optical conductor connected between the therapy-generating apparatus and the tissue at the treatment site, or an additional implantable medical device. Energy and/or information can be transmitted by optical signals using the optical conductor, in a safe and noise-free manner. Each location at which the optical signals are to be transmitted or received is provided with an optoelectrical converter, or an electro-optical converter, as appropriate.
