A modular implantable medical device permits implantable medical devices
to have a smaller profile in order to better fit into locations within
the human body. A modular implantable medical device separates various
functional components of the implantable medical device into a set of
interconnected modules. This distributed architecture of a modular
implantable medical device may permit the device footprint to be
distributed over a larger area while making the profile smaller, and may
permit the overall shape of the implantable medical device to better
match the body location into which it is to be implanted. An overmold
integrates the modules of a modular implantable medical device into a
single structure. In some embodiments the overmold is flexible and
provides a biocompatible interface from the component modules and the
patient, while restraining potentially harmful intermodule motion.
