  • Publication number: 20220142542
    Abstract: In various examples, a method of conductor management within a medical device includes providing a flexible substrate. The flexible substrate includes at least one routing feature. A hole is cut in the at least one routing feature with a cutting device. A conductor is passed through the hole in the at least one routing feature. The routing feature acts to maintain and manage positioning of the conductor within the medical device. The medical device, in some examples, includes a lead, with the conductor connected to an electrode of the lead after being routed through the routing feature.

  • Patent number: 8200342
    Abstract: An energy management system facilitates the transfer of high frequency energy coupled into an implanted abandoned lead at a selected RF frequency or frequency band, to an energy dissipating surface. This is accomplished by conductively coupling the implanted abandoned lead to the energy dissipating surface of an abandoned lead cap through an energy diversion circuit including one or more passive electronic network components whose impedance characteristics are at least partially tuned to the implanted abandoned lead's impedance characteristics.

  • Patent number: 8175700
    Abstract: One or more inductors and one or more capacitors are physically disposed relative to one another in series and are electrically connected to one another in parallel to form a bandstop filter. Chip inductors and chip capacitors having spaced apart conductive terminals are physically arranged in end-to-end abutting relation to minimize electrical potential between adjacent conductive terminals. The bandstop filter may be hermetically sealed within a biocompatible container for use with an implantable lead or electrode of a medical device. The values of the inductors and the capacitors are selected such that the bandstop filter is resonant at one or more selected frequencies, such as an MRI pulsed frequency.
