Powering Passive Implanted Sensors with Dynamics

Description

The investigators have shown that it is possible to power various passive (no on-board power source or wired connection) devices when implanted into tissue. One such example is a passive RFID tag attached to the bone or a metallic orthopedic implant. The RFID tag can be powered and read using a patented technology called touch probe.
