Active implantable device

摘要

One aspect relates to a method for connecting a housing of an active implantable medical device to a head part, whereby an uncured joining agent that is arranged, at least in part, between the housing and the head part is transitioned into a cured joining agent to attain a firmly bonded connection. In one embodiment, the uncured joining agent includes monomers of a (meth)acrylic acid alkyl ester, and the cured joining agent includes at least one polymer of the (meth)acrylic acid alkyl ester.

主权项

1. A method for connecting a housing of an active implantable medical device to a head part of the active implantable medical device,
whereby the head part is configured to provide electrical contact for lead connectors to the active implantable medical device and the housing is configured to hermetically enclose at least one functional element of the medical device, whereby an uncured joining agent that is arranged, at least in part, between the housing and the head part is transitioned into a cured joining agent to attain a firmly bonded connection between the housing and the head part, whereby the uncured joining agent comprises monomers of a (meth)acrylic acid alkyl ester, and the cured joining agent comprises at least one polymer of the (meth)acrylic acid alkyl ester; characterized in that the uncured joining agent comprises at least 70% by weight (meth)acrylic acid alkyl ester monomers and maximally 30% by weight polymerized (meth)acrylic acid alkyl esters and in that the uncured joining agent comprises a stabiliser and/or an initiator.
