Claim 8:
9. A method of constructing a modular lead bore, comprising:
hermetically coupling a plurality of lead bore modules together, each lead bore module comprising a lead bore passageway and a feedthrough passageway;
providing a plurality of electrical contacts with each electrical contact of the plurality of electrical contacts being present within the lead bore passageway of each corresponding lead bore module;
providing a plurality of seals, where each seal of the plurality of seals is present the lead bore passageway of each corresponding lead bore module and is present between electrical contacts;
providing a plurality of hermetic feedthrough assemblies, each hermetic feedthrough assembly of the plurality of hermetic feedthrough assemblies being present within the feedthrough passageway of each corresponding lead bore module; and
providing a plurality of feedthrough pins, each feedthrough pin of the plurality of feedthrough pins passing through the hermetic feedthrough assembly of each corresponding lead bore module, each feedthrough pin of the plurality of feedthrough pins being electrically coupled to the electrical contact of each corresponding lead bore module and being configured to couple to medical device circuitry.
