Frontier Materials in Surgery

Rod Menchaca MC, PhD, CEO of Advances in Surgery, talks with Zina Jarrahi Cinker, Phd, leader of AMPT and PUZZLE X about the impact that frontier materials will have on surgery.

This interview highlights how advanced in material science can revolutionize the biomedical and surgical field in the very near future. Frontier Material like graphene: one atomic layer of carbon, the thinnest and strongest material in the world – 10,000 times thinner than human hair and 200 times stronger than steel  – can be used as transparent flexible conductors of electricity and heat for the next generation of biosensors, robotics, implants, brain interfaces, organ and regeneration and more.

Advances in digitization of surgery are obvious and in some ways understandable. However, these advances in “the digital side" must be accompanied by new materials, technologies and devices that we have not yet imagined. 

This conversation is the starting point to learn about frontier materials from a world leader in this subject.

Advances in Surgery has embraced this initiative and has become a strategic partner of AMPT and PUZZLE X.
