    摘要: Systems, devices and methods allow inductive recharging of a power source located within or coupled to an implantable medical device while the device is implanted in a patient. The recharging system/device in some examples includes a first electrical coil and a second electrical coil configured to generate opposing magnetic fields forming a resultant magnetic field within a recharging envelope located between the coils. A third coil of the implantable medical device may be positioned within the recharging envelope so that the resultant magnetic field is imposed on the third coil, causing electrical energy to be induced in the third coil, the induced electrical energy used to recharge a power source of an implantable medical device coupled to the third coil, and/or to power operation of the implantable medical device.

    摘要: A lead connector assembly includes a lead receptacle, a sleeve, and a handle for coupling to a medical lead. The lead receptacle has an inner surface and an opening configured to receive the lead. The sleeve is deflectable by the inner surface of the lead receptacle. The sleeve has a distal end portion defining a first outer diameter to engage the lead in a locked position and a second outer diameter greater than the first diameter in an unlocked position. The handle is coupled to the lead receptacle and a proximal end portion of the sleeve to move the sleeve axially in both directions along the longitudinal axis relative to the lead receptacle. The lead connector assembly retains the lead in the locked position. The lead receptacle is couplable to a medical device housing.

    摘要: Various embodiments of an implantable medical device and a wireless energy transfer system that includes the implantable medical device are disclosed. The device includes a housing that has a first major surface and a second major surface, a sidewall that extends between the first major surface and the second major surface, and an opening disposed in the sidewall. The device further includes a window disposed on at least one of the first major surface or second major surface of the housing, and a nonconductive material disposed on the housing, wherein the opening is hermetically sealed by the nonconductive material. At least one of the window or the sealed opening is adapted to transmit electromagnetic energy.

    摘要: A system and method for sealing a capacitor bottom in a filtered feedthrough. The feedthrough comprises a ferrule, a capacitor, at least one terminal pin and a support structure. The support structure includes at least one projection that extends into an aperture of the capacitor. The projection includes an opening through which the at least one terminal pin extends such that, in an assembled state, the terminal pin extends through the opening of the projection and the aperture of the capacitor.

    摘要: A feedthrough assembly may include a ferrule defining a ferrule opening, a feedthrough at least partially disposed within the ferrule opening, and a capacitive filter array at least partially disposed within the ferrule opening. The feedthrough may include at least one feedthrough conductive pathway and the capacitive filter array may include at least one filter array conductive pathway. In some examples, the feedthrough assembly includes a thick film conductive paste electrically connecting the at least one feedthrough conductive pathway and the at least one filter array conductive pathway. In some examples, the capacitive feedthrough array includes a perimeter conductive contact and a capacitive filter electrically coupling the at least one filter array conductive pathway and the perimeter conductive contact. In some of these examples, the feedthrough assembly includes a thick film conductive paste electrically connecting the perimeter conductive contact and the ferrule.
