New areas in development
OneLife is investigating more biofilm-issues to support the following:
antibiotics
-
Antibiotics alone fail to completely eliminate biofilm on implantable medical devices.
infections
The place of implants with regards to nosocomial infections is particular: when infected, practice is to eliminate sources of systemic infection. However, with implants
removal is not always possible
for fragile patients without causing major problems for the patient.
IMPLANTS
-
Antibiotic lock therapy: to "save the implant" the use of antibiotics at high doses and for prolonged periods (8h/day) is needed.
