摘要:
A battery having an electrode assembly located in a housing that efficiently utilizes the space available in many implantable medical devices is disclosed. The battery housing provides a cover and a shallow case a preferably planar, major bottom portion, an open top to receive the cover opposing the bottom portion, and a plurality of sides being radiused at intersections with each other and with the bottom to allow for the close abutting of other components located within the implantable device while also providing for efficient location of the battery within an arcuate edge of the device. The cover and the shallow case being substantially hermetically sealed by a laser weld technique and an insulator member disposed within the case to provide a barrier to incident laser radiation so that during welding radiation does not impinge upon radiation sensitive component(s) disposed within the case.

An energy storage device may include a housing and a fluid access aperture extending through a sidewall of housing that is used to fill the device with electrolytic fluid. In some examples, the fluid access aperture may define a length extending through the housing that is greater than a major width that extends across a cross-sectional area of the fluid access aperture. In some additional examples, the fluid access aperture may be angled relative to an axis that is substantially orthogonal to the housing. Depending on the situation, such example fluid access apertures may prevent electrolytic fluid from escaping from the energy storage device while the fluid access aperture is being sealed.

A valve cover for a prosthetic implant. The valve cover is adhered to the prosthetic implant and covers the fill valve. The valve cover has a flexible body having an upper portion, a central portion and a lower portion. A plug extends from the bottom surface of the central portion of the valve cover body. A continuous textured peripheral area is disposed on the bottom surface of the flexible body and which extends through the upper portion and to the lower portion through an axis intersecting the valve entrance. The continuous peripheral area is adhered to the prosthetic implant body whereby the plug is aligned with the fill valve entrance. Lifting of the lower portion of the valve cover provides access to the fill valve of the prosthetic implant.
