The Sentinel Inside the Bone — How Implantable Sensors Are Changing Post-Surgical Monitoring
Traditional post-surgical monitoring relies on imaging and patient-reported outcomes. Discovery R uses a battery-free LC resonant sensor to measure forces at the implant site in real time, detecting 'impending failure zones' during movement — not after structural damage has already occurred.

Why Bones Need Wings — The Design Philosophy Behind WingHeal
Rotator cuff repair faces a dilemma: insufficient strength leads to re-tear, and excessive immune response causes rejection. WingHeal combines a PEEK structural augment with low-immunogenic collagen scaffold, showing +71.8% biomechanical stiffness and fibrocartilage formation at 4 weeks in animal studies.
