Abstract: In various examples, a method of conductor management within a medical device includes providing a flexible substrate. The flexible substrate includes at least one routing feature. A hole is cut in the at least one routing feature with a cutting device. A conductor is passed through the hole in the at least one routing feature. The routing feature acts to maintain and manage positioning of the conductor within the medical device. The medical device, in some examples, includes a lead, with the conductor connected to an electrode of the lead after being routed through the routing feature.

Abstract: An active medical device has a feedthrough comprising a ferrule sealed to a ceramic insulator supporting a short terminal pin and a long terminal pin that are connected to electronic components in the device housing. A silicone insulator residing in the ferrule abutting the ceramic insulator has first and second openings that house first and second metallic housings nesting respective coil springs. The metallic housings connected to the respective short and long terminal pins are axially aligned in the silicon insulator. A lead connector connected to a strain-relief for a lead supports a co-axial lead pin having electrically isolated center and circumferential outer conductors. When the lead connector/strain-relief subassembly is connected to the feedthrough, the center and circumferential conductors of the lead pin are electrically connected to the coil springs nested in the first and second metallic housings connected to the short and long terminal pins of the feedthrough.

Abstract: An active medical device has a feedthrough with at least two terminal pins that are connected to electronic components in the device housing. A lead connector is connected to a strain-relief device for a lead. The lead connector supports at least two proximally-facing C-shaped inserts with an annular spring nested therein that are detachably connected to the device terminal pins to thereby connect the device electronic components to the lead electrodes. The device housing has a length extending along a longitudinal axis, and secondary axes of the terminal pins connected to the C-shaped inserts/annular springs are aligned parallel to the axis with imaginary extensions of the connector axes extending into the device housing.

Abstract: In various examples, an electrode for a medical device is described. The medical device includes a lead. The electrode includes a tubular ring formed from a conductive material. The ring extending around a perimeter of the electrode. The ring defines a void within the ring. The void is configured to accept overmolded material of the lead therein to anchor the electrode within the lead. An electrode surface is associated with the ring. The electrode surface is configured to contact and stimulate tissue of a patient with the lead implanted within the patient.
