Further development of active implantable medical devices (AIMDs) coming along with higher channel counts and improved maintainability raises the requirements for implantable connectors in such systems. We developed a concept for an implantable multichannel connector. Contact pads manufactured by laser-structuring that are embedded into a silicone substrate serve as contact partners. Processing features specific to two laser technologies were exploited not only to cut the materials but also to 3D-shape the surfaces of the contact pads. First tests for the long-term behavior show stable contact and isolation properties during 6 weeks of soaking at elevated temperature.
随着通道数量增加和可维护性提高,有源植入式医疗设备(AIMD)的进一步发展对这类系统中的植入式连接器提出了更高要求。我们开发了一种植入式多通道连接器的概念。通过激光结构化制造并嵌入硅树脂基板的接触垫用作接触部件。利用两种激光技术特有的加工特性,不仅用于切割材料,还用于对接触垫表面进行三维成型。长期性能的初步测试表明,在高温浸泡6周期间,接触和隔离性能稳定。
