Abstract: Hydrogen getters are provided in active implantable medical device by applying a layer of selected metal with a chosen thickness over an un-oxidized portion of a base metal. The base metal may be titanium, and the selected metal may be palladium or platinum, with a thickness of less than 250 nanometers, where the selected metal acts as a passivation layer relative to oxidation but allows hydrogen capture by the base metal. The getter may be a separate component or may be formed as part of an existing component such as a feedthrough ferrule.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to implantable medical devices. According to an exemplary embodiment, a method for forming an electrode on an implantable medical device (IMD), comprises forming a nonconductive body comprising a well having a bottom surface and at least one side surface extending from the bottom surface. The method further comprises forming a conduit through the bottom surface and inserting the nonconductive body into an opening in an external surface of the IMD. The method also comprises depositing conductive material into the well and coupling the conductive material to a circuit of the IMD via the conduit through the bottom surface of the well.

Abstract: A connector apparatus for a medical device includes a cylindrical core of nonconductive material, a beam of conductive material, and a sleeve of conductive material. The cylindrical core includes an outside surface, an inside surface, a hollow center having a cross sectional area, and a slot opening in the cylindrical core extending from the outside surface to the inside surface. The beam is placed in the slot opening in the cylindrical core, wherein the beam reduces the cross-sectional area of the hollow center of the cylindrical core. The sleeve of conductive material is placed over the outside surface of the cylindrical core.

Abstract: An electrical connector for detachably connecting an electrical lead to an implantable medical device includes a conductive housing and a plurality of spring contacts. The conductive housing extends from a proximal end to a distal end. The conductive housing has an interior surface forming a hollow cylinder. The plurality of spring contacts projects from the interior surface of the conductive housing and toward the proximal end. The plurality of spring contacts is at least partially contained within the conductive housing and configured to form an electrical connection to an electrical lead inserted within the conductive housing. The conductive housing and the plurality of spring contacts are integrally formed by an additive manufacturing process such that the electrical connector is a unitary structure.

Abstract: A method includes providing a mold defining a mold cavity for receiving material to be molded into a molded part, positioning an insert at least partially in the mold such that a portion of the insert defines a portion of the mold cavity, and injecting the material into the mold cavity to substantially fill the mold cavity to form the molded part. The molded par can then be removed from the mold and the insert can be removed from the molded part. The mold can include silicone and the insert can include polyoxymethylene.
