METHOD FOR MAKING IMPLANTABLE MEDICAL DEVICES HAVING CARBON NANOTUBE-BASED ANTI-ELECTROSTATIC COATINGS

摘要

A method of fabricating an implantable medical device having a receptacle adapted to receive a connector assembly attached to a proximal end of an implantable lead. A distal end portion of the implantable lead carries at least one electrode electrically connected with a terminal contact on the connector assembly. The receptacle contains at least one internal insulative sealing surface. An anti-static coating comprising carbon nanotubes is applied to the at least one internal insulative sealing surface.
