Abstract
A wirelessly-powered medical system includes an intermediate energy transfer module configured to receive energy transferred from a main power source, a transferring magnetic resonator connected to the intermediate energy transfer module and configured to transmit a wireless power transfer signal, and a medical device configured for placement on, in, or in close proximity to a subject, the medical device requiring at least some input power to be fully operational, the medical device connected to a receiving magnetic resonator, wherein the transferring magnetic resonator is configured to exchange power wirelessly via the wireless power transfer signal with the receiving magnetic resonator.
Claims21
A wirelessly-powered medical system, comprising:
- an intermediate energy transfer module configured to receive energy transferred from a main power source;
