Bacterial contamination of medical devices can be prevented by using a therapeutic coating. Use of medical devices can be compromised due to the presence of bacterial biofilms on its surface that could lead to profound consequences. This article summarizes the recent development of therapeutic coating of medical devices. Chemical-coating of medical devices is not new in the medical industry. However, the continuous increase in demand for medical implants is now tasked with achieving a greater level of healthcare.
The development of therapeutic coatings for medical devices has now created a new avenue of medical research. Colonization of bacteria into resilient and hard to treat biofilms is a major concern that compromises the use of medical implants. But, modern therapies hugely depend on the usage of medical devices and implants. A possible solution of decontaminating medical implants…
