Abstract

See full text

A magnetic arrangement is described for an implantable system for a recipient patient. An implantable coil housing contains a signal coil for transcutaneous communication of an implant communication signal. Freely rotatable within the coil housing is a cylindrical implant magnet for transcutaneous magnetic interaction with a corresponding external attachment magnet. The implant magnet has a central cylinder axis of symmetry, and a magnetization direction along a magnetic axis angled away from the axis of symmetry at a non-zero angle less than 45 degrees.
