SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR DETECTING HEALING ADJACENT TO IMPLANTED MEDICAL DEVICE

摘要

A method of detecting healing adjacent to an implanted medical device can first include pre-treating a surface of the medical device prior to implantation, thereby defining a pre-treated surface of the medical device. Then, subsequent to implantation, a portion of the pre-treated surface that is not covered by endothelial tissue is detected by a detection device.
