Implantable medical device comprising a wireless transcutaneous link
摘要
說明書
In an embodiment, the transmitter coil and the implantable receiver coil are adapted to be arranged relative to each other such that the coupling coefficient between the transmitter coil and the implantable receiver coil is independent of orientation of the transmitter coil with respect to the implantable receiver coil. The orientation refers to the co-axial and/or planar alignment of the transmitter coil with respect to the implantable receiver coil.
In an embodiment, the fixation unit is configured to attach the loop structure proximal to the implantable receiver coil such that a loop axis or an extrapolated loop axis of the loop structure passes through the implantable receiver coil. In one embodiment disclosing a loop structure defined by the closed curve geometrical shape, the loop axis is defined as an axis that runs along the entire length of the loop structure. In another embodiment disclosing a loop structure defined by the open curve geometrical shape, the extrapolated loop axis is defined by an axis that runs along the entire length of the loop structure and an imaginary line joining the distance separating the first point (first end of the loop structure) and second point (second end of the loop structure).
