Role of Thermal Contact Resistance in Induction Heating of Implants
Preclinical studies have shown that non-contact induction heating can be a useful tool to eradicate biofilm infections[1-4]. Exposure to alternating magnetic field (AMF) induces eddy currents in the metal implants and causes the implant to heat up. One concern regarding this method is the heating of the bone which could cause tissue necrosis. Early studies are addressing patient safety and the overall viability of the treatment method[5]. Experimental data from previous test indicates limited heat conduction to the bone during induction heating of the implant[6]. We explore the role of thermal contact resistance between implant and bone in the context of patient safety.
