摘要:
Methods and apparatuses are provided for an electrical device that employs a feedthrough including a hermetic seal that seals an interior region of the electrical device. The electrical device includes an electrical contact disposed within the interior region of the electrical device, and a wire terminal that includes an encircled portion that is encircled by the feedthrough, and a first end that electrically connects with said electrical contact. When the electrical device is constructed, the first end of the wire terminal is coated with a conductive metal that is more resistant to oxidation than the wire terminal. The first end of the wire terminal is secured to the electrical contact using a mechanical device such as a crimping connector or a spring connector.

A capacitive filter feedthrough assembly and method of making same are disclosed for shielding an implantable medical device such as pacemaker or defibrillator from electromagnetic interference or noise. A ferrule is adapted for mounting onto a conductive device housing by welding, soldering, brazing or gluing, and supports a terminal pin for feedthrough passage to a housing interior. A capacitive filter is mounted at the inboard side of a device housing, with capacitive filter electrode plate sets coupled respectively to the housing and the terminal pin by an electrically conductive combination of adhesive, brazing and soldering. In one embodiment of the invention, multiple capacitive filters are provided in an array within a common base structure, where each capacitive filter is associated with a respective terminal pin.

A feedthrough configuration for a hermetically sealed implantable medical device which includes a metal case having an aperture and a feedthrough in the aperture which includes an electrically conductive pin, an insulating material supporting the pin, a block spaced from the case and in electrical continuity with the pin and a device for electrical protection connected to the block and to the case. The device for electrical protection preferably includes two zener diodes, a first diode connected at the block and a second diode connected to the case with an electrical conductor connecting the two diodes in a back-to-back configuration.
摘要:
A feedthrough configuration for a hermetically sealed implantable medical device includes a metal case having an aperture and a feedthrough in the aperture which includes a ferrule sealed in the aperture, a pin extending through the ferrule and the aperture, an insulating material supporting the pin within the ferrule and an electrically conductive block spaced from the ferrule and in electrical connection with the pin. A device for electrical or electromagnetic protection can be connected to a peripheral upstanding portion of the ferrule and a peripheral skirt portion of the block. This arrangement of feedthrough elements can be particularly useful if the protective device is a chip capacitor which typically has a flat-sided configuration that can bridge the space between the ferrule and the block and be connected at one end to the block and at the other end to the ferrule.

摘要:
Structures and methods relating to electrodes for incorporation into a feedthrough with a profile adapted for subcutaneous sensing of physiologic and cardiac signals. Electrode assemblies are adapted for integration with feedthrough to enable maximal electrode spacing, minimal myopotential electrical noise and provide reliable insulation from the IMD housing. Various structures and manufacturing processes are implemented to provide a large sensing surface with a low profile. The subcutaneous sensing electrode assembly provides a leadless sensing system and further enhances installation and follow-up procedures.
