Abstract
An apparatus including a header mountable to an implantable housing; and an electrically conductive connector block located within the header, wherein the conductive connector block is formed from a substantially non-metallic material.
Claims17
An apparatus comprising:
- a header mountable to an implantable housing;
- and
- an electrically conductive connector block located within the header, wherein the conductive connector block is formed from a substantially non-metallic material, wherein the conductive connector block is formed of a non-conductive material with a conductive coating.
An apparatus comprising:
- an implantable housing holding pulse generator electronics;
- a header mounted to the implantable housing;
- and
- a conductive connector block located completely within the header and configured to receive a lead, wherein the conductive connector block is formed from a substantially non-metallic material with the entire outer surface of the conductor block being electrically conductive, the conductive connector block electrically attached to a feedthrough which extends between the header and the implantable housing.
1 more element
A method comprising:
- placing an electrically conductive connector block into a header of an implantable device such that the connector block is completely within the header, wherein the conductive connector block is formed from a substantially non-metallic material with the entire outer surface of the conductor block being electrically conductive;
- and
- connecting the electrically conductive connector block to a feedthrough.
