摘要:
At least one storage component, for example a capacitor or a battery, of an implantable medical device includes two perimeter surfaces. Linear extensions of the two perimeter surfaces define a zone. An electrical connector, which is coupled to the storage component and includes at least one connection point for electrically connecting the storage component with at least one other component within the medical device, is contained within the zone defined by the linear extensions of the two perimeter surfaces.

An electrochemical cell of an implantable medical device is provided. The electrochemical cell comprises a conductive case and a cover welded to the case to form a hermetically-sealed housing. A cathode is disposed adjacent to a surface of the case within the hermetically-sealed housing and an anode is disposed within the hermetically-sealed housing. An immobilization system is disposed between the anode and the hermetically-sealed housing. The immobilization system is configured to minimize movement of the anode relative to the housing and is adapted to thermally insulate the anode during fabrication of the hermetically-sealed housing.

摘要:
Implantable medical devices (IMDs) and their various components, particularly methods and apparatus for electrically isolating and supporting components of an IMD IPG, e.g., capacitors of a capacitor sub-assembly, thereof in volumetrically efficient ways. A capacitor sub-assembly comprising two or more capacitors stacked side-by-side such that the facing capacitor case major sides are separated by a reliable and simple to apply insulation layer of minimal thickness is disclosed for assembly with other components of an ICD IPG into an IPG housing. A shape conforming insulating spacer is formed of an insulating polymer to conform to the shape of a first capacitor case major side and the perimeter of that major side. The shape conforming insulating spacer is simply applied or adhered by adhesive layers, bands or patterns to one or both of the facing capacitor case major sides.
