  • Patent number: 9821395
    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.

  • Publication number: 20170203105
    Abstract: A feedthrough of a medical electronic device, which in particular is implantable, including a housing and at least one electrical or electronic component received in the housing, wherein the feedthrough has a feedthrough flange for closing an opening in the housing and for receiving a multiplicity of connection elements in an insulating body surrounding the connection elements, which connection elements serve for the connection of a component or at least one component, externally of the housing, wherein the insulating body is formed from multi-layer ceramic, in particular from HTCC, with sintered-in pre-configured conductor elements, and comprising a device-specific contact-making means of selected conductor elements, which together with the contacted pre-configured conductor elements forms the connection elements.
