A device for connection to a flexible adhesive patch configured to convey power from a location external to a subject to a location within the subject, the flexible adhesive patch including adhesive on one side thereof and a protrusion extending from a side thereof opposite the adhesive, the device comprising:
- a housing containing at least one processor and at least one coil of electrically conductive material, the at least one coil being configured for use in wirelessly transmitting power to an implant located at the location within the subject to modulate the branched fibers of the hypoglossal nerve associated with a genioglossus muscle of the subject, the at least one coil having a plurality of windings;
- a concavity within the housing, the concavity being configured to receive and retain the protrusion extending from the flexible adhesive patch, wherein at least a portion of a side of the housing and a top of the housing are exposed when the housing is mounted on the flexible adhesive patch.
A device for connection to a flexible adhesive patch configured to convey power from a location external to a subject to a location within the subject, the flexible adhesive patch including adhesive on one side thereof and a recessed portion disposed on a side opposite the adhesive, the device comprising:
- a housing containing at least one processor and at least one coil of electrically conductive material, the at least one coil being configured for use in wirelessly transmitting power to an implant located at the location within the subject to modulate the branched fibers of the hypoglossal nerve associated with a genioplossus muscle of the subject, the at least one coil having a plurality of windings;
- a protrusion extending from the housing, the protrusion being configured to engage and be retained within the recessed portion of the flexible adhesive patch, wherein at least a portion of a side of the housing and a top of the housing are exposed when the housing is mounted on the flexible adhesive patch.
