Abstract
An implantable medical device includes a first substrate based on a biocompatible material, wherein the first substrate constitutes a part of a housing of the device and has an external side configured to be put in contact with the biological tissues of a user, wherein the device comprises at least one ultrasonic transducer within a cavity created on an internal side of the first substrate, wherein the transducer is configured so that no layer of air, of gas or of void separates the transducer from the first substrate.
Claims9
An implantable medical device comprising:
- a first substrate based on a biocompatible material, wherein the first substrate constitutes a part of an encapsulation housing of the device and has an external side, defining an external side of the encapsulation housing, configured to be put in contact with the biological tissues of a user, and an internal side opposite to the external side;
- and
- at least one ultrasonic transducer within a non-through cavity formed in the first substrate on the internal side of the first substrate,
- wherein the ultrasonic transducer comprises a layer of a piezoelectric material distinct from the first substrate, the ultrasonic transducer being configured so that no layer of air, of gas or of void separates from the internal side of the first substrate.
