Bioresorbable bioelectronics, with their natural degradation properties, hold significant potential to eliminate the need for surgical removal. Despite notable achievements, two major challenges hinder their practical application in medical settings. First, they necessitate sustainable energy solutions with biodegradable components via biosafe powering mechanisms.

- - The integration of electronic components in implantable medical devices (IMDs) is crucial for advanced healthcare features, but challenges like noninvasive power supply and safe biosafe removal need to be addressed for better patient care and reduced economic burden.
- - Bioresorbable triboelectric nanogenerators (B-TENGs) are highlighted as potential solutions for temporary power sources in IMDs due to their biodegradability and self-clearing capabilities.
- - The review explores the development and working principles of B-TENGs, current trends in transient implants, and future challenges and opportunities in advancing energy solutions for IMDs through innovations in materials science and microfabrication.
On-demand transient electronics, technologies referring subsequent material disintegration under well-defined triggering events and programmed time lines, offer exceptional clinical experiences in diagnosis, treatment, and rehabilitation. Despite potential benefits, such as the elimination of surgical device removal and reduction of long-term inimical effects, their use is limited by the nontransient conventional power supplies. Here, we report an ultrasound-mediated transient triboelectric nanogenerator (TENG) where ultrasound determines energy generation and degradation period.
