Abstract: A metal outer casing part of an implantable medical electronic device contains at least one inner cavity and/or non-conductive inclusion or portion with multiple small cavities and/or non-conductive inclusions which is closed off in a hermetically sealed manner at least towards the housing outer side by a closed metal layer.

Abstract: A feedthrough for an implantable medical electronic device that has a housing and a header. The feedthrough having an insulator that has a housing-side surface and a header-side surface opposite it, a feedthrough flange surrounding the insulator, and at least one primary connection element penetrating the insulator and for connection of an electrical or electronic component of the device. This electrical or electronic component is arranged in the housing. The connection element is fastened by a hard solder connection, so that it is fluid-tight in a passage of the insulator. The primary connection element has a housing-side end that is essentially even with the housing-side surface of the insulator or is recessed into the insulator with respect to this surface.

Abstract: A method for producing a feedthrough component of a medical electronic device, in particular an implantable device, wherein a feedthrough main body, in particular made of ceramic, is produced and is provided over a large area with a metal coating, and the metal coating is then structured, wherein the structuring is performed by at least partially removing the metal coating in layers in a number of sub-steps by means of a processing laser.

Abstract: A method for producing a pin for a feedthrough for an electromedical implant. A pin is produced using the following method steps: creating a foil-, sheet- or strip-shaped semi-finished product by joining at least one first layer element including an electrically conducting, preferably biocompatible, material in foil, sheet or strip form and at least one second layer element including a solder and/or an easily soft-solderable material, preferably in wire, sheet or strip form, or by applying the at least one second layer element onto the at least one first layer element; and at least partially detaching a pin, or a set of multiple pins connected to a connecting web 46, from the semi-finished product. A method is also provided for producing a feedthrough and an electromedical implant and to a pin, a feedthrough or an implant produced in the corresponding manner.

Abstract: A feedthrough of a medical electronic device, which in particular is implantable and has a device housing in which electronic and/or electrical function units are housed and which has a housing opening closed by the feedthrough, wherein the feedthrough has an insulating body, a feedthrough flange surrounding the insulating body and fixed to the housing opening, and at least one connection element penetrating through the insulating body for the external connection of at least one component of the device, wherein the connection element or at least one connection element consists at least in part, in particular substantially fully, of a shape-memory alloy.
