This innovation introduces a non-invasive wireless sensing (WISE) device integrated into surgical sutures for remote monitoring of surgical sites. It employs harmonic backscattering technology, allowing real-time sensing of complications without compromising suture quality. Its applications extend to enhancing patient care by enabling early detection of infections and bleeding post-surgery. The technology combines the functionality of traditional sutures with advanced monitoring capabilities, offering a novel approach to post-operative care.
