An electrical stimulation system comprises an implant adapted for insertion into a body in contact with target tissue, the implant including a transdermal receiver and an external driver including a source of stimulation current and a transdermal transmitter transmitted the stimulation current to the transdermal receiver. A method of electrically stimulating target tissue comprises surgically implanting an implant with an electrode of the implant adjacent to the target tissue, the implant including a receiver, placing an external driver including a transmitter on a target portion of skin in proximity to the receiver, providing power to the implant portion transdermally from the external driver via the transmitter and the receiver and applying a stimulation current to the target tissue by supplying power received from the external driver to the electrode.

L'invention concerne un système de stimulation électrique comprenant un implant conçu pour s'insérer dans un corps en contact avec un tissu cible. L'implant présente un récepteur transdermique et un excitateur externe muni d'une source de courant de stimulation et d'un émetteur transdermique qui transmet le courant de stimulation au récepteur transdermique. Un procédé de stimulation électrique d'un tissu cible consiste à: implanter par chirurgie un implant équipé d'un récepteur, une électrode de l'implant jouxtant le tissu cible; placer un excitateur externe comprenant un émetteur sur une partie cible de la peau, à proximité du récepteur; alimenter la partie implant par voie transdermique à l'aide de l'excitateur externe, par le biais de l'émetteur et du récepteur; et stimuler le tissu cible par application d'un courant électrique de l'excitateur externe à l'électrode.
