IMPLANTABLE MEDICAL DEVICE BATTERY
First Claim
1. A battery comprising:
- a tubular housing, wherein an external surface of the tubular housing comprises a biocompatible material;
a battery header secured to an open end of the tubular housing, wherein the tubular housing and the battery header combine to form a substantially sealed enclosure;
one or more voltaic cells within the substantially sealed enclosure; and
a feedthrough electrically connected to the voltaic cells and extending through the battery header to form a battery terminal,wherein the battery header includes a radial groove opposite the tubular housing, wherein the radial groove is configured to receive a mating snap-fit electronic component subassembly of an implantable medical device.
