  • Patent number: 8676321
    Abstract: A medical implant includes a hermetically sealed hollow housing having a hermetically sealed feedthrough suitable for conducting electrical signals to and from the hollow housing without impairing the hermetic seal thereof. The hollow housing includes a circuit suitable for measuring signals from the human body, sending signals to the human body, and transmitting signals to a receiver located outside the body. The implant also includes a connection housing having an insulating connection body, an externally accessible cavity for connecting an implantable electrode line, an insulating substrate having at least one electrically conductive strip conductor structure, and contacts that are securely electrically connected to a strip conductor structure present in or on the substrate material. The substrate may be embedded in the connection body in such a way that the contacts are present in the externally accessible cavity.

  • Publication number: 20080217304
    Abstract: A medical implant such as a cardiac pacemaker or a defibrillator is assembled from a first element and a second element, which each have a surface. The first element and the second element are connected to one another in a joining step in the particular connection area of the first element and of the second element which forms at least a partial area of the particular surface. In a plasma activation step to be performed before the joining step, at least the connection area of the first element and/or at least the connection area of the second element is activated in a low-pressure plasma or in a plasma generated at atmospheric pressure.
