Abstract
An implantable component, such as that utilized for a bone conduction device, the implantable component including a housing and a piezoelectric transducer, wherein the implantable component is configured to prevent the piezoelectric transducer from moving inside the housing. The implantable component can be configured to temporarily prevent the piezoelectric transducer from moving inside the housing.
Claims20
An implantable component, comprising:
- a housing;
- and
- a piezoelectric transducer, wherein
- the implantable component is configured to prevent the piezoelectric transducer from moving inside the housing.
1 more element
A component of a bone conduction device, comprising:
- a housing;
- and
- a transducer-seismic mass assembly, wherein
- the component is configured to temporarily shock-proof the assembly.
1 more element
A method, comprising:
- obtaining an implantable component of an active transcutaneous bone conduction device including a transducer hermetically sealed within a housing, wherein the transducer is restrained from movement within the housing;
- and
- unrestraining the transducer while the transducer is hermetically sealed within the housing so that the transducer can move.
