The main problem of infected orthopaedic implants is that the presence of microorganisms in an organized biofilm making them difficult accessible for antibiotics. This biofilm consists of a complex community of microorganisms embedded in an extracellular matrix that forms on surfaces such as an implant. Non-contact induction heating uses pulsed electromagnetic fields to induce so-called ‘eddy currents’ within metal objects which causes them to heat up. This heat causes thermal damage to the bacterial biofilm hence killing the bacteria on the metal implant. The purpose of this study is to determine the effectiveness of induction heating on killing Staphylococcus epidermidis in a biofilm. S. epidermidis biofilms were grown on Titanium alloy (Ti6Al4V) coupons and subsequently were heated with a custom-built induction heater to temperatures of 60°C, 70°C, 80°C and 90°C for 3.5 minutes. Temperature was controlled with an infra-red thermal sensor and micro-controller. We also included two control conditions without induction heating: C1 without induction heating and C2 with chlorhexidine 0.5% in 70% alcohol without induction heating. Experiments were repeated 5 times. In the C1 group (no induction heating), 1.3 * 10(7) colony forming units (CFU)/cm(−2) of S. epidermidis were observed. For 60°C, 70C, 80 C and 90C, a 3.9-log reduction, 5.3-log reduction, 5.5-log reduction and 6.1-log reduction in CFU/cm(−2) were observed, respectively. For the C2 (chlorhexidine) there was a 6.7-log reduction CFU/cm(-2). We concluded that induction heating of Titanium coupons is effective in reducing bacterial load in vitro for S. epidermidis biofilms.
