Abstract
An improved battery for use with an implantable heart pacer. An implantable heart pacer provides stimulation to the heart of a patient and is normally battery-powered. A primary reason for pacer failure and resulting pacer replacement is failure in the battery or batteries. The present invention provides improved insulation against leakage between positive and negative electrodes of the implanted battery thus extending battery life and pacer life.
