Abstract
A transcutaneous transmission pouch provides a pocket on a flexible substrate adherable to a user's skin. The flexible substrate is adhered to the user's skin closest to the location where an implantable device is implanted. An antenna coil, including associated electrical circuitry needed to transmit power and data signals to the implantable device from an external power/control source, are removably inserted into the pocket of the flexible substrate in order to hold the antenna coil in an aligned position with the implantable device during a power or data signal transfer.
