Implant system with a temporary implant and method for influencing the corrosion rate of an implant

摘要

The method involves performing selective control of a solution or stabilization of a medical implant (2) after implantation of the implant, where the implant is made of a metallic, biocompatible and bio-corrodible material. A voltage- or current source (4) is provided outside of a body of a patient, and electrodes (3) i.e. adhesive electrodes, and/or an electrically conductive connection is applied at or in a body tissue (5) of the patient. The electrodes and/or the electrically conductive connection are connected with the implant directly or by the body tissue. An independent claim is also included for a device for influencing corrosion rate of an implant.
