ABSTRACT:
An implantable device, such as a defibrillator, has a conforming housing that is adapted to follow to the contours of the patient's body at a device implantation site, while complying with pressures applied to the patient's body and with body flexion. In one form of the invention, the device housing is articulated at one or more hinge locations to provide a segmented housing that conforms to an implantation site through movement about the hinge axis. Another embodiment of the invention provides a flexible housing that surrounds a flex-circuit assembly.
