[Strong Antibacterial Efficacy of Titanium Surfaces Modified by Nanotubes and Silver Nanoparticles].

CONCLUSIONS Surface modification of Ti6Al4V with nano-texturing and silver nanoparticles resulted in strong antibacterial and modest antibiofilm effects. Thus, our results confirmed the technological potential of nano-texturing and silver nanoparticles for the improvement of antibacterial properties of implants. Key words:prosthetic joint infection, anti-infective biomaterials, titanium alloy, silver nanoparticles, nanotubes, prevention of infection. PMID: 31070569 [PubMed - in process]
