Abstract

At least one surface (120,126) of an implantable medical device (10,90,100) is concave along at least one axis such that it substantially conforms to a surface within a patient, such as the cranium, when it is implanted on that surface. In some embodiments, the surface of the implantable medical device substantially conforms to an arc with a radius that is between 4.5 and 9.5 centimeters, and is preferably approximately equal to 7 centimeters. The implantable medical device comprises a plurality of interconnected modules (30,32,34), and an overmold (48,92,102) that at least partially encapsulates each of the modules. In such embodiments, at least one surface of the overmold is concave along at least one axis. Further, each of the modules of such an implantable medical device may comprise a housing (36,38,40), and at least one surface of at least one of the housings may be concave along at least one axis.

Claims

AMENDED CLAIMS[Received by the International Bureau on 02 Jul 2004 (02.07,04): Original claims 1- 18 replaced by amended claims 1-18]
1. An implantable medical device comprising: a plurality of interconnected modules, each of the modules comprising a housing; and an overmold that at least partially encapsulates each of the housings, wherein the overmold is formed such that a surface of the overmold is concave along at least one axis prior to manipulation of the implantable medical device.
2. The implantable medical device of claim 1 , wherein the surface of the overmold is concave along two axes.
3. The implantable medical device of claim 1 or 2, wherein the overmold is flexible.
4. The implantable medical device of any one of claims 1 to 3, wherein the surface of the overmold is concave such that the surface conforms substantially to the cranium.
5. The implantable medical device of any one of claims 1 to 4, wherein the surface of the overmold is concave such that the overmold conforms substantially to an arc, and a radius of the arc is within a range from 4.5 to 9.5 centimeters.
6. The implantable medical device of claim 5, wherein the radius of the arc is approximately equal to 7 centimeters.
7. The implantable medical device of claim 5 or 6, wherein the surface comprises a first surface of the overmold that is proximate to a cranium of a patient when the implantable medical device is implanted on the cranium, and a second surface of the overmold that is distal from the cranium when the implantable medical device is implanted on the cranium substantially conforms to the arc.
AMENDED SHEET (ARTICLE 19) 23

12. The implantable medical device of claim 9, wherein the module is a power source module that include a battery with a foil pack construction, and the surface of the housing and the foil pack battery are concave along one axis.
13. The implantable medical device of claim 9, wherein the module comprises a recharge module that includes a recharge coil for inductively receiving energy, and the surface of the housing and the coil are concave along two axes.
14. The implantable medical device of claim 9, wherein the surface of the housing is concave such that the surface conforms substantially to the cranium.
15. The implantable medical device of claim 9, wherein the surface of the housing is concave such that the surface conforms substantially to an arc, and a radius of the arc is within a range from 4.5 to 9.5 centimeters.
16. The implantable medical device of claim 15, wherein the radius of the arc is approximately equal to 7 centimeters.
17. The implantable medical device of claim 15 or 16, wherein the surface of the housing comprises a first surface of the housing, and a second surface of the housing that is distal from the cranium when the implantable medical device is implanted on the cranium conforms to the arc.
18. The implantable medical device of any one of claims 1 to 17, further comprising: a therapy delivery circuit to deliver stimulation to a brain of the patient; and control electronics to control the delivery of stimulation by the therapy delivery circuit, wherein the therapy delivery circuit and control electronics are located within one of the modules.
