A capacitor is presented that includes a housing, an electrode stack, a liner, and a fill port. The liner is located between the housing and the electrode stack. The liner includes a recessed portion. A fill port extends through the housing across from the recessed portion in the liner. A gap is formed between the recessed portion and the fill port.

A body implantable medical device (IMD) includes a first shell and a second shell whose outer surfaces are biocompatible. The IMD further includes a battery enclosure defined by all or a portion of the first shell of the IMD housing and a cover. The cover of the battery enclosure is disposed between the inner surfaces of the first and second shells, has a greater rigidity than the first shell, and includes an improved feedthrough assembly for an electrochemical cell, such as a flat liquid electrolyte battery, provided in the battery enclosure. Electronic circuitry, supported on a flexible wiring substrate, is provided between the inner surface of the second shell and the cover of the battery enclosure. A hermetic seal is provided between the cover of the battery enclosure and all or a portion of the first shell.

An electrochemical cell has a silver vanadium oxide cathode material formed into a pellet shape which expands as the cell is discharged. A cathode current collector circumferentially surrounds the cathode pellet and is in contact with the peripheral edge of the cathode pellet to prevent peripheral cathode expansion. The peripheral cathode current collector maintains a stable cell impedance during cell discharge. The cell has a D-shaped housing in which the cathode is disposed adjacent to a first interior surface, and a lithium anode is disposed adjacent to a second interior surface.

A battery having an electrode assembly located in a housing that efficiently utilizes the space available in many implantable medical devices is disclosed. The battery housing provides a cover and a shallow case a preferably planar, major bottom portion, an open top to receive the cover opposing the bottom portion, and a plurality of sides being radiused at intersections with each other and with the bottom to allow for the close abutting of other components located within the implantable device while also providing for efficient location of the battery within an arcuate edge of the device. The cover and the shallow case being substantially hermetically sealed by a laser weld technique and an insulator member disposed within the case to provide a barrier to incident laser radiation so that during welding radiation does not impinge upon radiation sensitive component(s) disposed within the case.

摘要:
A feedthrough pin insulator and corresponding assembly for an electrochemical cell powering an implantable medical device are described herein. The feedthrough pin insulator electrically insulates a feedthrough pin extending between the internal and external portions of the cell from cell components having the same electrical potential as a cathode disposed within the cell. The feedthrough pin insulator extends between an anode disposed within the cell and a ferrule disposed in an aperture of a cover for sealing the cell. A gate or dam is disposed at one end of the insulator for preventing or inhibiting the formation of anode flash on the feedthrough pin or in other undesired locations or on certain cell components during the anode formation process. A method of forming an anode is also described which corresponds to the foregoing apparatus.
