Magnetic heat zaps infection in knee implants without removal
NCT ID NCT07700927
First seen Jul 14, 2026 · Last updated Jul 15, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This trial tests whether a device that uses alternating magnetic fields to heat metal knee implants can help treat infections without removing the implant. Adults with a knee implant infection receive surgery, antibiotics, and either active or sham magnetic treatment. The study measures knee function, infection recurrence, and safety over 6 to 12 months.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Alternating magnetic field treatment delivered by the Sola2 AMF Knee System, an external device that heats metal knee implants to fight infection during surgery.
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this approach could offer a new way to treat knee implant infections without removing the implant, potentially preserving knee function and reducing the need for additional surgeries.
- What could go wrong
- This is an early-stage trial with a small number of participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The treatment involves heating implants, which could cause tissue damage or other side effects.
