An implantable medical device has one or more feedthrough/electrode assemblies (54, 54 ' , 54 " , 54 " ' , 54 " ") positioned around an outer periphery of the device. Each of the assemblies includes a ferrule (73) and a feedthrough conductor (75) that extends longitudinally through the ferrule. Each of the assemblies also includes a cover (79) having an insulative body (80) and an electrical contact (82) that is mounted to the plastic insulator. The plastic insulator is positioned over an inner end of the assembly such that the contact is operatively coupled to the feedthrough conductor of the assembly. The cover can be oriented so as to be freely accessible for purposes of electrically connecting circuitry within the implantable medical device to the contact, and in turn, the feedthrough conductor. In turn, the wiring (55) used in connecting the circuitry and the contact (82) can be routed within the implantable medical device as desired.

L'invention concerne un dispositif médical implantable comprenant un ou plusieurs ensembles traversée/électrode disposés autour d'une périphérie extérieure du dispositif. Chacun de ces ensembles comprend une virole et un conducteur de traversée s'étendant longitudinalement à travers la virole. Chacun des ensembles comprend également un couvercle possédant un corps isolant et un contact électrique monté sur l'isolant en plastique. L'isolant en plastique est disposé sur une extrémité intérieure de l'ensemble de sorte que le contact soit couplé fonctionnel au conducteur de traversée de l'ensemble. Le couvercle peut être orienté de manière à être librement accessible, ce qui permet de connecter électriquement au contact les circuits dans le dispositif médical implantable, ledit contact étant à son tour connecté au conducteur de traversée. Le câblage utilisé pour connecter les circuits et le contact peut alors être acheminé dans le dispositif médical implantable selon les besoins.
