ABSTRACT:
A TANK filter is provided for a lead wire of an active medical device (AMD). In a preferred form, the TANK filter is integrated into a TIP and/or RING electrode for an active implantable medical device. The TANK filter includes a capacitor in parallel with an inductor. The parallel capacitor and inductor are placed in series with the lead wire of the AMD, wherein values of capacitance and inductance are selected such that the TANK filter is resonant at a selected frequency to attenuate current flow through the lead wire along a range of selected frequencies. In a particularly preferred form, the TANK filter is manufactured using very low k materials of sufficient strength to handle forces applied thereto during installation and use.
