  • Title: Preventing medical device related infections.
    Author: Duran LW.
    Journal: Med Device Technol; 2000; 11(6):14-7. PubMed ID: 15326787.
    Abstract:
    Antimicrobial surfaces are a major advance in the ability to design biomaterials that resist colonization and subsequent infection. By reducing device-related infections, infection-resistant biomaterials will greatly improve the effectiveness of the device, which in turn will significantly decrease post-operative health risks and health-care costs. This overview of new surface modification technologies highlights strategies to prevent device-related infections.
