A method for producing a feedthrough component of a medical electronic device, in particular an implantable device, wherein a feedthrough main body, in particular made of ceramic, is produced and is provided over a large area with a metal coating, and the metal coating is then structured, wherein the structuring is performed by at least partially removing the metal coating in layers in a number of sub-steps by means of a processing laser.

Feedthrough component with structured metal coating and method for producing such a feedthrough component

An implantable electromedical device, including a casing part accommodating an electronic or electric functional unit, an electrode disposed on the outside of the casing part or a line connection, and a feedthrough, which surrounds an orifice of the casing part and accommodates at least one metallic conductor element connecting the electrode or the line connection to the functional unit, and which has a metallic circumferential flange, wherein the feedthrough comprises a ceramic base body, around which the circumferential flange and in which the conductor element are directly shrunk in a positively and non-positively connecting manner.
