IMPROVED TRANSCUTANEOUS POWER AND/OR DATA TRANSCEIVER SYSTEM

摘要

A device for communicating electric signals across the skin layer (1) of a patient, wherein the device includes: an electrically conductive core (2) capable of forming an EMF flux loop; first (3) and second (4) coils, which a re in EMF communication with said electrical conductive core (2) and wherein th e first coil (3) is positioned externally to the patient and surrounds at leas t a first portion of the electrically conductive core (2); and the second coil (4) is implanted beneath or in the skin layer and surrounds at least a secon d portion of the electrically conductive core.
