Dr Höglund has worked with the development and clinical tests of resorbable implants in surgery. The initial invention, based on the construction of a self-locking loop (the LigaTie®), is described in the PhD thesis, alongside methods for measurement of surgical stress. http://pub.epsilon.slu.se/8589/
New surgical techniques are continuously being developed. Objective methods are needed for evidence based comparison and evaluation. In his research he has focused on intra-operative measurements of surgical stress in veterinary surgery.
