Abstract:
A first housing includes a first part and a second part , both of which comprise PEEK-OPTIMA (Trade Mark) polymer. The two parts are arranged to cooperate so that they can be laser welded and define a hermetically sealed housing which may house electronic (and/or other) components and maintain them in a dry, sealed environment. The housing and contained electronic components may define an implantable device, for example a heart pacemaker, for long term implantation in a human body.
