In vivo studies in swine models confirm the batteries operate robustly within the gastrointestinal tract and are compatible with clinically relevant medical applications. The bioresorbable design eliminates risks from conventional battery failure and toxic leakage.
“Those materials are known to be relatively safe. That was the biggest driver, thinking about materials that can be tolerated by humans.”

Bioresorbable batteries are miniature, ingestible power sources constructed from biocompatible materials designed to operate electronic devices within the human body before safely dissolving. They generate necessary electrical currents within the gastrointestinal tract and are fully absorbed or excreted without causing heavy metal toxicity. #…
