Rabobank Innovation Loan for IPD
Rabobank invests in startup companies with promising technologies. IPD has been granted the RIL for an amount of €150.000,= to continue our journey with the innovation, from prof. dr. Rob Nelissen and dr. B.Pijls, of non-contact induction heating to treat prosthetic and metal implant infections. I want to thank Rabobank for their trust and confidence in IPD.
Effectiveness of mechanical cleaning,<br>antibiotics, and induction heating on<br>eradication of Staphylococcus aureus in<br>mature biofilms
Here we used a mature seven- day biofilm model of Staphylococcus aureus, exposed to anti-biotics up to an additional seven days, to establish the effectiveness of either mechanical cleaning or antibiotics or non- contact induction heating, and which combinations could eradicate S. aureus in mature biofilms.

Synergistic effects of Non Contact Induction Heating & Antibiotics on Staphylococcus aureus Biofilm
Staphylococcus aureus is a major cause of prosthetic joint infection (PJI) in which it forms adherent biofilms, thick aggregates of extracellular polymeric substances (EPS) produced by the bacteria. Biofilm associated infections are difficult to treat as they have increased resistance to various antimicrobial agents, which means infected implants often require multiple procedures and prolonged antibiotic therapy. […]
NON-CONTACT INDUCTION HEATING AND SAAP-148 ELIMINATE PERSISTERS WITHIN MRSA BIOFILMS MIMICKING A METAL IMPLANT INFECTION
Implant-associated infections are the primary cause of complications following orthopaedic surgery. Dueto biofilm and persister formation, current treatments, i.e. surgical debridement followed by antibiotics,often fail. There is an urgent need for alternative strategies to combat such infections. Therefore, the presentstudy investigated the effects of non-contact induction heating (NCIH), the antimicrobial peptide SAAP-148and combinations thereof on […]
