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

摘要

The implant system (1) has a temporary implant (2) made from a metallic, biocompatible and biocorrodible material, and is formed as an electrochemical cell. The implant forms a working electrode, which is electrically conductively connected with a counter electrode (3). The implant is connected over body tissues (5) of a patient as an electrolyte, where the implant is stabilizable or dissolvable. An independent claim is also included for a method for influencing the corrosion rate of temporary implants.
