Abstract
Implantable medical devices have a feedthrough from the device to the outside world to pass electrical current from electronics inside the implant to the patient or vice versa. A plurality of sensors and/or signal wires in a wire bundle must connect to the feedthrough and implant in living tissue in the patient. Chemical and physical forces work against the wire connections on the feedthrough. Disclosed embodiments include a biocompatible housing that can be used for an implantable medical device. The biocompatible housing includes a recess with at least one wire exit port, the recess having at least one feedthrough assembly mounted therein. A wire of the feedthrough assembly passes out the wire exit port, and the recess has a top hermetically sealed over it.
