Abstract
The present disclosure relates to implantable medical devices having protective structures with integrated electrical interconnects. Particularly, aspects of the present disclosure are directed to a medical device that includes a first nest portion and a second nest portion mateable with the first nest portion to form a nest housing. The nest housing includes an interior surface and an exterior surface with a component cavity defined by the interior surface. An electronics module is disposed within a first region of the component cavity. A power source is disposed within a second region of the component cavity. An electrical interconnect is formed on or embedded within the first nest portion, the second nest portion, or a combination thereof. The electrical interconnect electrically connects the electronics module to the power source.
