Using magnetic fields to treat infections 🧲

Metallic implants, like joint replacements, are commonplace in modern healthcare.

But you may not realize that up to 3% of orthopedic implants become infected, and these infections can have serious consequences. Treating them usually entails more costly, invasive surgeries.

Enter ​Solenic Medical​, the pioneers in the groundbreaking field of alternating magnetic field therapy for implant infections. Imagine a world where we can eliminate metallic bacterial infections without surgery.

• Typically, post-operation infections are challenging to treat because bacteria can form biofilms on the surface of the implant.

• These biofilms are resistant to antibiotics.

• ​Solenic heats up the metal implant​ using an alternating magnetic field that destroys the biofilm without damaging surrounding tissue.

​Solenic​'s technology, if proven safe and effective, has the potential to redefine the treatment of implant infections. This could be the breakthrough we've been waiting for, dramatically reducing the need for additional surgeries, curbing healthcare costs, and, most importantly, enhancing patient outcomes.
