ABSTRACT:
Apparatus and method for fabricating a shroud member having extra-cardiac sensing electrode. The assembly is used to provide a subcutaneous cardiac activity sensing device via at least a pair of electrodes mechanically coupled to the shroud member. In one embodiment only a major surface portion of the electrodes are exposed to body fluid and tissue. One beneficial aspect of the fabrication techniques herein involve the encapsulation of the elongated conductors and a majority of the electrode surfaces thereby reducing possibility for electrical shorting among the IMD housing and the other conductive members. The assemblies provided can be fabricated efficiently, inexpensively, quickly and easily using insert-molding techniques.
