Abstract:
1. A method of producing an apparatus for use in a patient, comprising: etching an anode foil; anodizing the anode foil; assembling the anode foil, at least one cathode foil and one or more separators into a capacitor stack adapted to deliver from about 5.3 joules per cubic centimeter of capacitor stack volume to about 6.3 joules per cubic centimeter of capacitor stack volume, with the capacitor adapted to deliver maximum energy for a defibrillation pulse at a voltage of between about 465 volts to about 620 volts; inserting the stack into a capacitor case; inserting the capacitor case into a device housing adapted for implant in a patient; connecting the capacitor to a component; and sealing the device housing.
