Macroencapsulation devices and related methods of manufacture are described where bonded membranes of a device may be mounted to an associated frame in an arrangement to provide stress relief between the frame and a seal perimeter of the bonded membranes. The seal perimeter may be arranged radially inward from an outer perimeter of the membranes such that when the membranes are mounted to a corresponding perimeter frame, the seal perimeter is spaced radially inwards from the frame with a unbonded portion of the one or more membranes disposed between the frame and seal perimeter. Se describen dispositivos de macroencapsulación y métodos de fabricación relacionados en los que se pueden montar membranas unidas de un dispositivo en un marco asociado en una disposición para proporcionar alivio de tensión entre el marco y un perímetro de sellado de las membranas unidas. El perímetro de sellado puede disponerse hacia adentro de forma radial desde un perímetro externo de las membranas de modo que, cuando se montan las membranas en un marco perimétrico correspondiente, el perímetro de sellado se ubique hacia adentro de forma radial con una porción sin unir de la una o más membranas dispuestas entre el marco y el perímetro de sellado.
