An antenna implantable through minimally invasive techniques, preferably
comprising a coil with conductive probes is provided. The antenna is
preferably superelastic nickel-titanium having an insulative coating. The
antenna may conduct a signal originating from a device external to the
body of the implantee, or from another implanted device connected to the
antenna depending on whether the antenna is employed for sending,
receiving, or transceiving signals. Signals may contain data, operational
commands, and may be used to transfer power. The implantable antenna may
be connected to another implanted device, such as a blood pressure
monitor, or may be implanted as a stand-alone device for purposes such as
stimulating tissue.
