Abstract

The implantable stimulator (10), in accordance with the principles of the present invention, utilizes a high value, small sized capacitor (36) having at least a capacitive rating of 0.1 farads which is completely contained within the implantable stimulator (10). This high value, small size capacitor (36) or series of capacitors enables the implantable stimulator to deliver, on a controlled and continual basis, electric stimulation pulses to targeted tissues over at least an 8 hour period. Further the capacitive power source is replenished via an external, RF
coupled device (20) on a daily or other long-term periodic basis. During the replenishying cycle, the energy contained in the battery of the external transmitter is transferred to the internal capacitive power source in the implantable stimulator. The method includes providing, on an exclusive basis, power to an implantable stimulator via a high value capacitive source during at least an 8 hour cycle of substantially continued delivery of electric stimulation pulses to targeted tissue. The method includes incorporating and containing a capacitive device in the implantable stimulator wherein the capacitive device has a capacitive rating of at least 0.1 farads.
