Our technology

Innovative sensation restoration technology.

At TENGABLE, we develop a man-machine-interface based solution; a self-powered triboelectric nano generator (TENG), that is implanted under the skin and transforms mechanical load into electricity.
The nanogenerator is connected to the nearest healthy sensory nerve and stimulates it to restore touch sensation in the patient.

Loss of tactile sensation derives from several reasons.

Traumatic injuries

Neuropathic diseases diabetes

Mastectomy

and is a problem for tens of millions worldwide.

Inability to perform daily activity

Risk of secondary injuries

Loss of work capacity

Decreased mental health

Increased healthcare costs

A world first: Technology that restores the sense of touch in nerves damaged as a result of amputation or injury

Researchers have developed a sensor that can be implanted anywhere in the body, for example under the tip of a severed finger; the sensor connects to another nerve that functions properly and restores tactile sensation to the injured nerve.
