TRANSFORMER IMPLANT FOR INDUCTIVE POWER SUPPLY TO IMPLANTED MEDICAL DEVICE

A transformer implant comprising a ring-shaped transformer core; and elastomeric material embedding the ring-shaped transformer core, in such a way that an opening through the ring-shaped core is provided. The elastomeric material defines a base surface of the transformer implant and an upper surface of the transformer implant, the base surface and the upper surface meeting each other along an edge line of the transformer implant defining a maximum lateral extension of the transformer implant. The ring-shaped transformer core is arranged in a standing configuration, such that the ring-shaped transformer core has a maximum vertical extension along a first straight line and a maximum lateral extension along a second straight line. A lateral distance, in a direction parallel to the second straight line, from the first straight line to the edge line of the transformer implant at least corresponds to the maximum vertical extension of the ring-shaped transformer.
