Intraluminal devices with deployable elements

This invention describes a tiny device designed to travel inside the body's natural passages. It contains a sensor or treatment tool, powered by an internal battery. A key feature is a small antenna that can extend outwards to wirelessly receive energy from outside the body, recharging the battery and powering the device.

Why it matters: Wireless power transfer efficiency and miniaturization for medical implants have advanced significantly since 2016, making external charging of internal devices more feasible.

Status: ExpiredProtection ended and was never renewed
