Can magnetic fields treat infections? 🧲

You probably know that metallic implants are common. (Think pacemakers, hip & knee replacements, etc)

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.

​Solenic Medical​ uses high-frequency magnetic fields to treat metallic implant infections. They aim to eliminate 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.

• Instead, ​Solenic heats up the metal implant​ using an alternating magnetic field. The heat generated is sufficient to destroy the biofilm without damaging surrounding tissue.

If proven effective and safe, this would represent a significant advancement in the treatment of such infections —potentially reducing the need for additional surgeries and the associated healthcare costs and improving patient outcomes.
