New anti-infective coatings of medical implants.
Implantable devices are highly susceptible to infection and are therefore a major risk in surgery. The present work presents a novel strategy to prevent the formation of a biofilm on polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) grafts. PTFE grafts were coated with gentamicin and teicoplanin incorporated into different lipid-like carriers under aseptic conditions in a dipping process. Poly-d,l-lactic acid, to...
متن کاملFortified interpenetrating polymers - bacteria resistant coatings for medical devices.
Infections arising from contaminated medical devices are a serious global issue, contributing to antibiotic resistance and imposing significant strain on healthcare systems. Since the majority of medical device-associated infections are biofilm related, efforts are being made to generate either bacteria-repellent or antibacterial coatings aimed at preventing bacterial colonisation. Here, we uti...
متن کاملOptical Fibers with Polyimide Coatings for Medical Applications
Key properties of polyimide-coated optical fibers, unaged and exposed to various harsh environments, were investigated. The main intent was to model extreme conditions that can be encountered in medical applications of the fibers. A fiber designed by OFS showed good strength and was able to withstand exposure to extreme heat and humidity, multiple autoclave cycles, extended water soak and immer...

متن کاملElastomers for maxillofacial applications.
Systematic evaluations of the properties of prosthetic facial materials began to appear in 1969 with a report by Cantor et a/. ’ They reported that plasticized poly(methyl methacrylate) was the best material with respect to resistance to tearing and degree of elongation. A year later, Walter2 reported the specific gravity, water sorption, thermal conductivity, strain in compression, and permane...
