Sterilizable containment for implantable medical device

摘要

A sterilizable containment that includes an inner packaging and an outer packaging. The outer packaging encloses the inner packaging and includes at least two electric feedthroughs. The inner packaging includes at least two electric contacts, wherein each of the at least two electric contacts of the inner packaging matches one of the at least two electric feedthroughs of the outer packaging to provide an electric connection between a respective feedthrough and the corresponding contact when the inner and the outer packaging are closed. Each of the contacts of the inner packaging feed electrical charge from outside of the inner packaging to the inside of the inner packaging and vice versa. The inner packaging includes electrically conducting media that allows propagation of electrical charge between the contacts of the inner packaging and an implantable medical device included inside in a packaging when the containment is filled.

主权项

1. A sterilizable containment for an implantable medical device comprising:
an inner packaging; and, an outer packaging that encloses said inner packaging; wherein said outer packaging comprises at least two electric feedthroughs and, wherein said inner packaging comprises
at least two electric contacts,
wherein each of the contact at least two electric contacts of the inner packaging match one of the feedthroughs of the outer packaging to provide an electric connection between a respective feedthrough and the corresponding contact when the inner packaging and the outer packaging are closed,wherein each of the at least two electric contacts feed one or more of electrical charge and voltage drops from outside the inner packaging to inside of the inner package and vice versa; and,an electrically conducting medium that allows one or more of propagation of electrical charge and application of a voltage delta between said at least two electric contacts of the inner packaging and an implantable medical device contained in said inner packaging.
