Abstract: An implant provided with an auto-generator generating an electric charge. One or more nanogenerators are incorporated into or onto the implant or used as stand-alone devices. It is believed that electric charge improves the healing of damaged/injured tissues.

Abstract: A load bearing implant provided with an auto-generator generating an electric charge. One or more nanogenerators are incorporated into or onto the load bearing implant or a delivery vehicle. When a portion of the outward surface of the load bearing implant is flexed, the resultant movement of an electroconductive piston moves the charge generating composition and generates an electric charge deliverable to the electroconductive subsurface of the load bearing implant. It is believed that electric charge improves the healing of damaged/injured tissues.
