Abstract

Systems and methods involving implants positioned within implant pockets through minimally invasive entrance incisions, along with related implants. In some implementations, implants may be folded, rolled, or otherwise compressed to fit within subcutaneous implant pockets, after which they may be decompressed to fit within an implant pocket having one or more dimensions substantially larger than the entrance incision. Such implants may be used for a variety of purposes, including generating electrical energy for various other implants located throughout the body.
