Post-operative knee replacement infections offer an important clinical challenge with limited non-treatment options. A medical device is being developed that provides a novel therapeutic approach using electromagnetic heating to target localized infections around metal implants. Designed using multifics simulation, this device is an engineer to keep more heat on the infected area and low heat on healthy tissue, eliminating the infection with minimal necrosis of the surrounding healthy tissue.
Engineers can use multitisics software to simulate complex thermal reactions in medical devices. In silico The data generated from these simulation is important for the FDA approval process, which reduces the requirement of data collection significantly. in vitro And In vivo studies.
In this presentation, Joshua Thomas of Kyle Copenhoff and Altasim Technologies will discuss how multiplication simulations can be used to predict tissue heating in medical equipment and solve important challenges in this field of research.
The webinar will have a live performance of the Comsol Multichysics® software and will include a Q&A session.
