Abstract[English]
An apparatus includes an electrically conductive housing configured to be implanted beneath a skin portion of a recipient's body. The apparatus further includes a transducer on or within the housing. The transducer is configured to receive and/or to generate vibrations. The apparatus further includes an electrically insulative and biocompatible material overlaying the housing. The material is configured to electrically insulate the housing and the transducer from the recipient's body. The apparatus further includes at least one vibration conduit configured to be in contact with the recipient's body and to transfer the vibrations between the recipient's body and the transducer. The at least one vibration conduit includes a first portion covered by the material and a second portion not covered by the material.[French]
L'invention concerne un appareil comprenant un boîtier électriquement conducteur configuré pour être implanté sous une portion de la peau d'un receveur. L'appareil comprend en outre un transducteur sur ou à l'intérieur du boîtier. Le transducteur est configuré pour recevoir et/ou générer des vibrations. L'appareil comprend en outre un matériau électriquement isolant et biocompatible recouvrant le boîtier. Le matériau est configuré pour isoler électriquement le boîtier et le transducteur du corps du receveur. L'appareil comprend en outre au moins un conduit de vibration configuré pour être en contact avec le corps du receveur et pour transférer les vibrations entre le corps du receveur et le transducteur. Ledit conduit de vibration comprend une première portion recouverte par le matériau et une deuxième portion non recouverte par le matériau.
