Surface Treated Catheters for Vascular Access—Useful?
Background: Catheter-related infections (CRI), thrombosis, and stenosis are among the most frequent complications associated with catheters which are inserted in vessels as vascular access. These problems are usually related to the handling of the staff, the catheter materials, and the surface properties of the catheter. To mitigate such complications surface treatment process of the outer surf...
متن کاملSurface behaviour of biomaterials: the theta surface for biocompatibility.
"Biomaterials" are non-living substances selected to have predictable interactions with contacting biological phases, in applications ranging from medical/dental implants to food processing to control of biofouling in the sea. More than 30 years of empirical observations of the surface behaviours of various materials in biological settings, when correlated with the contact-angle-determined Crit...
متن کاملBiomaterials: Protein–Surface Interactions
The study of protein–surface interactions represents one of the most important topics in the field of biomaterials, and as such, it has been a focus of intensive study for several decades. The reason for the great interest in this topic is the realization that protein– surface interactions are fundamentally responsible for the biocompatibility of medical devices, or the lack thereof. When a sol...
متن کاملPlasma-surface modification of biomaterials
Plasma-surface modification (PSM) is an effective and economical surface treatment technique for many materials and of growing interests in biomedical engineering. This article reviews the various common plasma techniques and experimental methods as applied to biomedical materials research, such as plasma sputtering and etching, plasma implantation, plasma deposition, plasma polymerization, las...
متن کاملCatheters: a suitable surface for biofilm formation
The successes of modern medicine are intimately connected to the ever-increasing use of biomedical devices such as those used for vital functions management. Catheters of different types are the most common assist devices utilized every year. Current materials from which such medical devices are made include polyurethane, Teflon®, silicone rubber, polyethylene, polypropylene, polyvinyl chloride...
