Advances in adhesive technology for joint replacements - 3
Narrator: This is NIH health matters, I’m Joe Balintfy. A new coating could help joint implants adhere more strongly to a patient’s bone. Dr. Lyndon Joseph at the NIH says the new technology is still being developed but has great potential.
Joseph: It’s still in the discovery phase. … The big thing is when they then translate it into the human phase that’s going to be the big bang for the buck.
Narrator: He adds the public can help reduce the amount of time needed to bring this technology to market by participating in a clinical trial when these treated implants begin to be tested in humans.
