Abstract
A spiral-coil antenna conforming to a non-planar contour is deployed, in various embodiments, in an implantable device for controllably ejecting fluid into an anatomic region. The antenna facilitates wireless communications with the implantable device and external charging thereof. In one implementation, the device has a non-planar contour and the spiral coil defines a non-planar surface conforming to the non-planar contour.
