Abstract: An elevated feedthrough is attachable to a top or a side of an active implantable medical device. The feedthrough includes a conductive ferrule and a dielectric substrate. The dielectric substrate is defined as comprising a body fluid side and a device side disposed within the conductive ferrule. The dielectric substrate includes a body fluid side elevated portion generally raised above the conductive ferrule. At least one via hole is disposed through the dielectric substrate from the body fluid side to the device side. A conductive fill is disposed within the at least one via hole forming a hermetic seal and electrically conductive between the body fluid side and the device side. A leadwire connection feature is on the body fluid side electrically coupled to the conductive fill and disposed adjacent to the elevated portion of the dielectric substrate.

Abstract: A feedthrough terminal pin connector assembly for an active implantable medical device (AIMD) includes first and second terminal pin connectors, each comprising a sidewall having an exterior surface spaced from an interior surface defining a connector opening extending along a longitudinal axis. At least a first portion of the sidewall is electrically conductive. An electrically conductive compliant structure is supported by the electrically conductive portion of the sidewall in each of the first and second connector openings. A common housing contains the first and second terminal pin connectors with an insulative material electrically isolating the first and second electrically conductive sidewall portions from each other. The common housing is configured to be supported on a circuit board having at least a first and a second electrical circuits with the first and second electrically conductive portions being electrically connected to the respective first and second electrical circuits.

Abstract: A self-centering washer is positioned between a feedthrough and a filter circuit board. The washer has openings through which first and second terminal pins extend. A first opening has an inner arcuate portion contacting the first terminal pin and an outer perimeter portion exposing the braze sealing the terminal pin to the insulator. A second opening has an inner arcuate portion contacting the second terminal pin and an outer perimeter portion exposing the braze sealing the terminal pin to the insulator. In an imaginary configuration with the first and second washer openings superimposed one on top of the other, the cumulative arcuate distance of the inner arcuate portions about one of the terminal pins, subtracting overlap, results in a gap between the superimposed washer openings that is less than a diameter of the first and second terminal pins so that the washer is prevented from lateral movement.

Abstract: A polymeric film cover assembly for isolating an electrochemical power source from the other components housed inside an implantable medical device is described. The cover assembly comprises a first shallow-formed shaped-cover of a polymeric film configured to cover a first portion of the exterior surface of the casing and a second shallow-formed shaped-cover of the polymeric film configured to cover a second portion of the exterior surface of the casing. With the first and second shaped-covers contacting the casing, the shaped-covers are connected to each other in an overlapping or butted relationship to substantially or completely cover the exterior surface area of the casing. The interlocking polyester shaped-covers are readily formable into the desired three-dimensional form factor of the casing of power source while maintaining a desirable film thinness.

Abstract: A ceramic reinforced metal composite (CRMC) comprising a composition composite as an interpenetrating network of at least two interconnected composites is described. The interpenetrating networks comprise a ceramic matrix composite (CMC) and a metal matrix composite (MMC). The composition composite is particularly useful as an electrically conductive pathway extending through the insulator or ceramic body of a hermetically sealed component, for example, a feedthrough in an active implantable medical device (AIMD).
