Engineering Considerations for Treatment of Prosthetic Joint Infections Using Alternating Magnetic Fields (AMF)
Treatment of infected orthopedic implants presents a major medical challenge, involving prolonged antibiotic therapy and revision surgery. This contributes to >1 billion USD in annual healthcare costs in the US alone. Exposure of metallic implants to alternating magnetic fields (AMF) generates heat …

Non-Invasive Eradication of Biofilm on Metal Implants Using Alternating Magnetic Fields (AMF) and Antibiotics
Hundreds of thousands of human implant procedures require surgical revision each year due to infection. Infections are difficult to treat with conventional antibiotics due to the formation of biofilm on the implant surface. Our group is developing a non-invasive method to eliminate biofilm on metal …
