Abstract

An active implantable medical device includes an encapsulation (1) defining an inner space sealingly separated from an outer environment by walls transparent to a given wavelength range. The walls have a first main wall (1a) and a second main wall (1b) facing one another and separated from one another by an inner height (Hi) of the inner space. An encapsulation includes a housing formed by a first component (2) and a second component (3) both made of a single material and hermetically joined to one another along a single interface (23) to define the inner space hermetically sealed by the walls from the outer environment. An inner space contains an electronic, and facing a wall of the encapsulation. wherein joining of the first component and second components (2, 3) is carried out by welding without addition of a third material, the inner space has a volume (Vi) of at least 2 cm3.
