Implantable medical device that is configured for movable connection to an implanted trunk and that is able to inductively exchange signals with the trunk
An implantable medical device for performing therapy or monitoring a physiological condition. The device includes components for connecting the device to a trunk line. These components connect the device to the trunk line in such way that the components move over the trunk line. Internal to these components are conductors, including a coil, that are arranged to complementary inductively exchange signals with conductors internal to the trunk line. As a result of this inductive signal exchange the implantable medical device at least one of: receives power signals receives signals that regulate the operation of the device or transmits signal representative of the physiological state monitored by the device.
