A magnetic alignment system that can form part of a cochlear implant system. The magnetic alignment system prevents substantial movement of a magnet of an implanted component during an MRI procedure or allows for easy removal of the magnet to facilitate the MRI procedure.

Implant magnet system

A method of forming a non-linear path of at least a portion of at least one electrically conducting wire extending between a first location and a second location. The method includes the steps of forming a wire path template defining a non-linear path, winding said wire through said template such that said wire adopts said non-linear path, connecting the wire to a feedthrough member, wherein the feedthrough member is configured to provide an electrical connection through a wall of an implantable component implantable in a recipient along with the wire, and removing the wire from the template.

Method of forming a non-linear path of an electrically conducting wire

A method of forming and connecting an antenna to a feedthrough member of a housing. The method comprising a step of: positioning the feedthrough member and an antenna template relative to each other. A step of connecting the first portion of at least one electrically conducting wire to the feedthrough member. An additional step of winding the wire at least once around the antenna template, and a further step of connecting a second portion of each wire to said feedthrough member.
