Abstract
A method of fabricating implantable electronic medical devices eliminates the use of a backfill tube on the header or feed-through by reconfiguring the device's lead connector block anchor so as to provide it with a plug that can be used to seal an aperture in the device's header following removal of undesirable welding gases and replacement with an inert gas with a high breakdown resistance.
