Abstract:
An implantable medical device is described. The implantable medical device includes an anti-condensation filler that is highly permeable to a predetermined class of small molecules, such as oxygen. The implantable medical device includes a small molecule discharge bag that is permeable to the small molecule, and a cannula that connects an interior of the small discharge bag to the anti-condensation filler. In operation, small molecules are collected and transported through the anti-condensation filler to the cannula for diffusion through the small molecule discharge bag. Even when this device is implanted in a high humidity and temperature gradient environment, the anti-condensation filler prevents condensation, such as water condensation.

Claim (Index 18):
A method of manufacturing a biocompatible, implantable medical device, the method comprising:\n spreading uncured, biocompatible silicone on a first half mold; placing the nano-porous glass in a first portion of the first half mold, the nano-porous glass comprising a base and an elongated body extending from the base, the nano-porous glass hydrophobized based on silanization; partially curing the uncured, biocompatible silicone on the first half mold that contains the nano-porous glass; aligning a partially cured second half mold with the partially cured first half mold that contains the nano-porous glass; further curing the partially cured second half mold and the partially cured first half mold to create an integrally formed workpiece that contains the nano-porous glass, a sac, and a cannula that connects the nano-porous glass and the sac; masking a first portion and a second portion of the workpiece, the first portion corresponding to at least the base of the nano-porous glass, and the second portion corresponding to the sac; and depositing parylene on the workpiece.
