New Biomedical Device Uses Nanotechnology To Monitor Hip Implant Healing, May Reduce Wait Times

It is so small, you can barely see it, but a microsensor created by University of Alberta engineers may soon make a huge difference in the lives of people recovering from hip replacement surgery. The U of A research team has invented a self-powered wireless microsensor for monitoring the bone healing process after surgery--it is so tiny it can fit onto the tip of a pen. >>> Discuss This Story
