Abstract
A power transfer system for an implanted device, such as an implanted medical device. The implanted device and a power transfer device each include a coil with a magnetically permeable core, so that operatively the coils are magnetically coupled, so as to improve the efficiency of power transfer. The coil resides in an electrically conductive implant case
