Abstract
Described herein is a device configured to be implanted into a live human or animal. The device includes an electrically non-conductive frame; one or more electrical components disposed in the electrically non-conductive frame; and a self-supporting film. The self-supporting film forms a hermetical seal with the electrically non-conductive frame. The self-supporting film and the frame enclose the electrical components. The device is configured to be implanted into a live human or animal. Also described herein is a method of making a device configured to be implanted into a live human or animal. The method includes providing an electrically non-conductive frame comprising one or more feedthroughs, openings and a cavity; disposing electrical components within the cavity; optionally filling the cavity with a material to embed the electrical components in the material; and sealing the openings by applying a self-supporting film to the one or more openings.
