Zusammenfassung:Implantable medical devices have modular lead bores that are constructed from individual lead bore modules. A given modular lead bore (208) utilizes the number of individual lead bore modules (214) necessary for the particular implantable medical device. Each lead bore module has a lead bore passageway (216) and a feedthrough passageway (212). An electrical contact (220) is present within the lead bore passageway of each lead bore module and the electrical contact is aligned to the lead bore passageway of a lead bore module. Hermetic feedthrough assemblies (224) are also present within the lead bore passageway of each lead bore module. A feedthrough pin (210) passes through a hermetic feedthrough assembly within a feedthrough passageway of each lead bore module. Each feedthrough pin is electrically coupled to a corresponding electrical contact and the medical device circuitry.
