Abstract
An implantable subcutaneous electrical socket and corresponding percutaneous plug are disclosed for controlling and/or energizing an implanted medical device, such as a bone distraction motor, within a patient. The subcutaneous electrical socket is accessed percutaneously by the plug, to connect data and power electrodes deployed from the plug into the socket to conduct control signals and electrical power from an external source to an implanted medical device within the patient. The socket and plug include insulating materials to prevent electrical shock to the patient.
