On the basis, the embodiment is additionally provided with a metal sleeve 2, and the metal sleeve 2 is of a hollow tubular structure.
During connection, the first end of the metal sleeve 2 can be sleeved on the feed-through wire 1, then the antenna leading-out end 3 is sleeved on the second end of the metal sleeve 2, and connection between the feed-through wire 1 and the antenna leading-out end 3 is realized through the metal sleeve 2. Since the antenna lead-out 3 is inserted into the metal sleeve 2 for a certain length, the feed-through wire 1 is also inserted into the metal sleeve 2 for a certain length, and thus the inserted portion will serve as an effective connection area in the connection structure, and the connection structure formed in the embodiment will be more stable with respect to the point-to-point welding of the feed-through wire 1 and the antenna lead-out 3 (as shown in fig. 2). In addition, the metal sleeve 2 is adopted as an intermediate connecting piece, so that the axial and radial tensile force can be overcome well after the feed-through wire 1 and the antenna leading-out end 3 are connected, and the possibility that the feed-through wire 1 and the antenna leading-out end are separated due to the influence of external force can be reduced to a certain extent.

According to the usage requirement of the implantable pulse generator, the metal sleeve 2 in this embodiment is made of an implantable titanium alloy or stainless steel or platinum iridium alloy. The feed-through wire 1 may be made of a platinum iridium alloy, niobium or other metallic material. The antenna leading-out end 3 is made of implantation-level titanium alloy or stainless steel.
In order to avoid detachment between the antenna lead-out 3 and the metal sleeve 2, between the feed-through wire 1 and the metal sleeve 2, the outer surface of the solder joint 4 on the metal sleeve 2 in this embodiment may be coated with an implantation-level glue to prevent the solder joint 4 from falling off.
