Abstract
An implantable neural stimulation device (101) having a body (103) containing stimulation electronics (105) and a battery (107). The device (101) has a first header (109) and a second header (117) that are respectively coupled to the body (103). In some examples the first header (109) contains a charge coil (111) and a connector (113) for stimulation leads (115) and the second header (117) contains a communication antenna (119). There is also disclosed a method of manufacturing an implantable neural stimulation device.

An implantable neural stimulation device comprising:
- a body containing stimulation electronics and a battery to provide stimulation energy, wherein the body comprises a first portion and a second portion;
- a first header coupled to an end of the first portion of the body and containing a charge coil to charge the battery;
- a second header coupled to another end of the first portion of the body and containing a communication antenna to provide communication between the stimulation electronics and an external communication device;
- and
- a connector to connect a stimulation lead to the stimulation electronics to deliver stimulation energy from the battery under control by the stimulation electronics.
A method of manufacturing an implantable neural stimulation device, the device comprising a body with at least a first portion and a second portion to contain stimulation electronics and battery, a first header containing a charge coil, a second header containing a communications antenna, and at least one connector in the first and/or second header to connect a stimulation lead to stimulation electronics to deliver stimulation energy from the battery under the control of stimulation electronics, the method comprising:
- forming a first portion with at least one lid, wherein the lid has feedthroughs to couple with components of respective first and second headers;
- coupling the feedthroughs with at least the stimulation electronics and the battery;
- attaching the first portion of the body to the second portion of the body to seal the stimulation electronics and battery inside the body;
- and
- coupling respective first and second headers to the body, wherein components of the headers are in communication with components in the body via the feedthroughs.
