Energy dissipation resistor for implantable defibrillation circuitry

摘要: An energy dissipation resistor for dissipating electrical stored in implantable defibrillation capacitor(s). The comprises a layer of resistive foil sandwiched between two layers electrically insulative material so as to define circuitous path. At least conductive contacts are disposed through one the such that each provides an path from exterior enclosed therein. Conductive leads connected and provide means by which can be circuitry. also formed integrally with flexible circuit board, rigid circuitry liner, or hybrid substrate.
