The disclosure describes examples of antennas used for communication with an implantable medical device (IMD). As one example, the IMD includes a housing configured to house communication circuitry within an internal side of the housing, and a planar antenna, having a curved structure, that is ...
Examples of such implanted and related medical devices are found in U.S. Pat. No. 4,266,999 (Baier); U.S. Pat. No. 4,405,305 (Stephen et al.); U.S. Pat. No. 4,488,877 (Klein et al.); U.S. Pat. No. 4,668,222 (Poirier); U.S. Pat. No. 4,897,081 (Poirier et...
provide for a simultaneous activation of the possible therapeutic functions. There are, however, numerous implantable medical devices which may perform functions that are medically particularly sensitive and that are still manually activated in implantable medical devices currently being sold on the market....
VARIETIES OF IMPLANTABLE MEDICAL DEVICES NOW UNDER DEVELOPMENT The pacemaker is arguably the most widely used implantable medical device at the present time. It differs from the other devices shown here in that it actually controls a bodily function, namely t...

(MR) is for localization of the refill port, similar to medical devices such as tissue expanders22. Although not visible after implantation, therefore, the exact location of the refill port can be determined using a magnet of opposite polarity outside the body. The refill port allows refill ...
such as one or more electrical or mechanical abnormalities of the heart. Examples of IMDs can include pacers, automatic implantable cardioverter-defibrillators (ICDs), or cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) devices, among others. Nuclear magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), is a medical imaging techn...
The present invention is directed to implantable medical device assemblies. The assemblies are primarily used to introduce and deposit implantable medical devices in the
