1. A device for reducing corrosion of a medical implant, comprising:
a medical implant;
a dampening circuit coupled to the medical implant and configured to detect the presence of any electrical potential oscillations in the medical implant and to generate a signal that will at least partially dampen the electrical potential oscillations in the medical implant.
