| 发明名称 | Electrochemical eradication of microbes on surfaces of objects | ||
| 摘要 | The invention describes a method of reducing or preventing the growth of microbes on the surface of an object, wherein the object is of such material that it can act as a working electrode. The method comprises the steps of providing a counter electrode, and a reference electrode. The object is used as the working electrode. Electrical current is passed through the working and counter electrodes. The current through the counter electrode is varied such that the electric potential of the working electrode is constant relative to the electric potential of the reference electrode. Also described is an apparatus for reducing or preventing microbes on an object using a potentiostatic device. | ||

| 主权项 | 1. A method of treating a surface of an object, wherein the object is of such material that it can act as a working electrode, the method comprising: providing a reference electrode, a counter electrode, and the object acting as the working electrode; passing electrical current through the working and counter electrodes, wherein the current through the counter electrode is varied such that the electric potential of the working electrode is substantially constant relative to the electric potential of the reference electrode; and wherein the object is implantable or implanted. | ||
