TRA-COAT
The TRA-COAT project combats implant infections with a novel coating, featuring antibiofilm activity and triggered antimicrobial release. It focuses on orthopaedic and vascular implants, enhancing durability and reducing resistance development.
The TRA-COAT coating offers multiple advantages:
1. Antibiofilm Activity: Prevents biofilm formation, reducing infection risk.
2. Triggered Antimicrobial Release: Activates only when bacterial growth is detected.
3. Resistance-Proof: Biofilm inhibitors are robust against resistance.
4. Versatile Application: Initially for orthopedic and vascular implants, extendable to other devices.
5. Better Patient Outcomes: Decreases infection rates and antimicrobial resistance.
