Patent attributes
A leadless implantable medical device (IMD) may include an electrode, a housing, and an energy transfer component. The housing retains a pulse generator configured to provide stimulation energy for delivery to a tissue of interest, a power supply, a memory storing programmable instructions, and a processor communicatively coupled to the memory. The processor is responsive to the programmable instructions to control operation of the leadless IMD. The electrode is securely affixed to the tissue of interest. The housing includes first and second body portions mated to one another at a detachable interface. The electrode is coupled to the second body portion. The energy transfer component is distributed between the first and second body portions and is configured to convey at least one of stimulation energy or sensed signals across the detachable interface when the first and second body portions are mated to one another.
