On-Demand Magnetically-Activated Drug Delivery from Additively Manufactured Porous Bone Implants to Tackle Antibiotic-Resistant Infections

This study proposes a new concept for an on-demand drug releasing device intended for integration into additively manufactured (i.e., 3D printed) orthopedic implants. The system comprises a surface with conduits connected to a subsurface reservoir used for storage and on-demand release of antimicrobial agents, covered with a cap that prevents...
