Abstract
An implantable component of a prosthesis comprising of at least one powered component; at least one antenna coil contained within an electrically insulating surround; and an electrical storage element for powering at least one powered component, the electrical storage element being positionable within a support area of the surround, the support area being at least partially within the area defined by the at least one antenna coil.
Claims19
An implantable component of a prosthesis comprising:
- at least one component that uses power;
- an electrically insulating surround;
- at least one antenna coil contained within the electrically insulating surround, the at least one antenna coil defining an area;
- and
- a power source including a power source antenna coil and an electrical storage element configured to provide power to said at least one component, the electrical storage element being positionable within a support area of the surround, said support area being at least partially within the area defined by the at least one antenna coil.
