ABSTRACT:
An enclosure for use in pacemaker as well as other implantable medical devices has a substantially planar lid which is welded to a circumferential flange formed on a deep drawn shield. The shield and lid form a "container" which is encased in a compliant shroud which isolates the welded flange from direct body contact and which enhances the biocompatibility of the entire device. A resilient and compliant shroud material accepts connector module components, integrates seals, provides storage for lead wrap, and provides a simple low cost and reliable method of attaching stimulating leads or other structures required by the medical device.
