ENCRUSTATION AND BACTERIAL RESISTANT COATINGS FOR MEDICAL APPLICATIONS

摘要

Disclosed are coatings and materials that resist bacterial colonization and encrustation for use in medical devices and urological applications. The coating includes acidic chelating components, reactively bound to a hydrophilic polyurethane prepolymer along with noble metal combinations or antibacterials. The acidic and noble metal combinations can also be incorporated as additives during plastic molding of medical devices. Continuous antibacterial surfaces are provided by such coatings and materials.
