Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to an electrochemical cell connector for electrically connecting a plurality of electrochemical cells, and to battery packs including the electrochemical cell connector. The electrochemical cell connectors of the present disclosure are fabricated from a flexible circuit. The flexible circuit includes conductors, such as nickel conductors, soldered or otherwise attached thereto via holes or openings in the flexible circuit. These conductors may be welded or otherwise attached to an electrochemical cell, and the electrochemical cell connections made on the flexible circuit. In many embodiments, the conductors may be attached to the flexible circuit using industry standard automated assembly equipment thus streamlining the manufacturing process and improving overall quality of the product.

Abstract: A patient adapter for connecting a driveline cable between an implantable blood pump and a controller. The patient adapter provides a sufficiently large form factor to make connecting ends of a driveline cable easy for patients who lack dexterity or have unclear vision. The patient adapter includes an adapter body that defines a central lumen that extends through an entire length of the adapter body. The central lumen is configured to receive an end of a percutaneous end connector of the driveline cable and an end of a controller end connector of the driveline cable. The patient adapter includes a first mating feature configured to engage a corresponding feature of the percutaneous end connector and a second mating feature configured to engage a corresponding feature of the controller end connector. A thickness of the adapter body is greatest at a position proximate the controller end connector.
