Abstract
Presented herein are implantable medical devices that include an insulator extending through a hermetically-sealed biocompatible housing. A plurality of feedthrough pins, which include at least a first feedthrough pin, a second feedthrough pin, and at least one ground feedthrough pin extend through the insulator. An electrically shielding member is disposed at the outer surface of the insulator so as to provide a grounding barrier between the first and second feedthrough pins.
