ABSTRACT:
A housing for enclosing a power source for operating an implanted artificial organ is provided. The housing has an annular rim defining an aperture and is mounted in the human body such that replacement of the power source through the aperture is effected from outside the body without resort to surgical means. The housing is secured in the body by attachment to internal tissue, preferably bone.
