Abstract
Prosthetic implants, such as knee or hip prostheses, have significantly improved the wellbeing of citizens with articulation problems. However, there are still significant challenges in these procedures, being recurring infections one of the most challenging. In this context, hyperthermia has been studied as an effective alternative to antibiotics for biofilm eradication. Among the different heating alternatives, induction heating arises as the idoneous for this application due to its contactless nature and the metallic alloys used in prosthesis. This paper details the design of a portable induction heating system for implanted prosthesis disinfection.
期刊介绍：
The aim of the International Journal of Applied Electromagnetics and Mechanics is to contribute to intersciences coupling applied electromagnetics, mechanics and materials. The journal also intends to stimulate the further development of current technology in industry. The main subjects covered by the journal are:
Physics and mechanics of electromagnetic materials and devices
Computational electromagnetics in materials and devices
Applications of electromagnetic fields and materials
The three interrelated key subjects – electromagnetics, mechanics and materials - include the following aspects: electromagnetic NDE, electromagnetic machines and devices, electromagnetic materials and structures, electromagnetic fluids, magnetoelastic effects and magnetosolid mechanics, magnetic levitations, electromagnetic propulsion, bioelectromagnetics, and inverse problems in electromagnetics.
The editorial policy is to combine information and experience from both the latest high technology fields and as well as the well-established technologies within applied electromagnetics.
