Резюме:<p>With a view to applying small-sized superconducting coils for magnetic manipulation in surgery, three pancake coils have been built with commercially available (RE)BCO coated conductor using different impregnation methods and tested in liquid nitrogen and liquid helium. This paper presents the design and construction procedures of these pancake coils and subsequent test results including transport current characteristics in background fields are discussed.</p>
