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. |
