COUPLING MODULE OF A MODULAR IMPLANTABLE MEDICAL DEVICE

摘要

In an implantable medical device (101, 201, 401A-F, 501, 601, 701, 801, 901) having individual modules (103-105, 210-212, 410-412, 510-512, 610-611, 711-713, 811-812, 911-912, 1110-1111, 1201-1202), a coupling module (521, 612, 721, 722, 821, 921, 1001, 1101, 1222) couples the modules to one another. The coupling module supports electrical and/or mechanical coupling of the modules. The coupling module may assume a variety of shapes or configurations. The various embodiments of the coupling module may offer the modules varying degrees of freedom of movement relative to one another.
