Abstract
An operable implant adapted to be implanted in the body of a patient, the operable implant comprising an operation device and a body engaging portion, wherein the operation device comprises a first unit comprising a receiving unit for receiving wireless energy and a first gear system adapted to receive mechanical work having a first force and first velocity, and output mechanical work having a different second force and a different second velocity. The operation device further comprises a second unit comprising an electrical motor adapted to transform electrical energy to the mechanical work, and a distance element adapted to separate the first and second units such that the receiving unit, when receiving wireless energy, is not substantially affected by the second unit.
