Abstract
Medical devices allow for the complete removal of a portion of an implantable component that contains a magnet. Such structure allows a recipient to undergo MRI procedures without interference from the implanted magnet. The magnet can also be contained within a larger, non-magnetic chassis that acts as an enlarged lever arm having a greater torque resistance against the generated magnetic forces.
