Ferromagnetic fiber networks have the potential to deform in vivo imparting therapeutic
levels of strain on in-growing periprosthetic bone tissue. 444 Ferritic stainless steel provides …

Beneficial effects on bone–implant bonding may accrue from ferromagnetic fiber networks
on implants which can deform in vivo inducing controlled levels of mechanical strain directly …

The use of a porous coating on prosthetic components to encourage bone ingrowth is an
important way of improving uncemented implant fixation. Enhanced fixation may be …

Porous coatings on prosthetic implants encourage implant fixation. Enhanced fixation may
be achieved using a magneto-active porous coating that can deform elastically in vivo on the …

Background: Sintered, metallic fibre networks have been used in the design of a range of
technical devices in the past years (eg heat exchangers or catalysts). One potential …

Fibre networks combined with a matrix material in their void phase make the design of novel
and smart composite materials possible. Their application is of great interest in the field of …

There is currently an interest in “active” implantable biomedical devices that include
mechanical stimulation as an integral part of their design. This paper reports the …

The rationale behind this work is to design an implant device, based on a ferromagnetic
material, with the potential to deform in vivo promoting osseointegration through the growth …

Motive Metallic fibre networks and their mechanical behaviour are only insufficiently
understood. In this particular field of research, the use of nano-CT scans offers advanced …

Creating 'smart'biomedical devices with the potential for controlled actuation in vivo has
been a long-standing scientific pursuit in therapeutic medicine. The present work focuses on …
