ACOUSTIC POWER TRANSFER FOR IMPLANTABLE MEDICAL DEVICE

The present disclosure is directed to an implantable medical device including a housing having a generally planar portion, and a piezoelectric transducer disposed within the housing, wherein a receiving face of the piezoelectric transducer is arranged at an oblique angle with respect to a poling axis of the piezoelectric transducer, and an electrode to deliver a neurostimulation therapy. The implantable medical device is configured to receive energy signals from an external device and transduce the received energy signals into electrical power.
