[HTML][HTML] Making medical devices safer: impact of plastic and silicone oil on microbial biofilm formation
M Slettengren, S Mohanty, W Kamolvit… - Journal of Hospital …, 2020 - Elsevier
Background Medical devices face the challenge of microbial biofilm attached to the surface.
Ultimately, this may jeopardize the function of the device and increase the patient's risk of
infection. However, reliable methods to prevent biofilm are lacking. Aim To investigate the
effect of silicone oil-coated polypropylene plastic, used in a new automatic urinometer, on
biofilm formation; furthermore, to explore the impact of silicone oil viscosity and compare
polypropylene with polystyrene, another common medical plastic. Methods Common …
