One of the most frequently performed operations in hospitals all over the world is the placement of artificial hip implants and knee joints.
The risk of developing implant-associated inflammation (implantitis) due to biofilm growth is very high.
An early detection would enable to start treatment as fast as needed.
We want to develop a sensor that makes biofilms on implants visible. Feel free to check out our project.
