1. A device for inductive energy transmission into a human body, comprising:
a transmitter unit comprising a transmission coil, the transmission coil comprising a coil winding;
a carrier element comprising a surface area-forming flexible structure configured to conform to a body contour, wherein the coil winding of the transmission coil is fixed to the carrier element; and
a ferrite element comprising a ferrite material fixed to at least one of the coil winding and the surface area-forming flexible structure such that the coil winding is disposed between the surface area-forming flexible structure and the ferrite element, wherein the ferrite element comprises two or more discrete ferrite segments individually attached to at least one of the coil winding and the surface area-forming flexible structure, wherein the coil winding is disposed between the two or more discrete ferrite segments and the surface area-forming structure.
