Recent advances in soft, flexible, and stretchable sensors have offered a good opportunity to
design various types of wearable flexible medical devices for achievement of continuous …

The emergence of nanotechnology has created unprecedented hopes for addressing
several unmet industrial and clinical issues, including the growing threat so‐termed …

Urethral catheters are the most commonly deployed medical devices and used to manage a
wide range of conditions in both hospital and community care settings. The use of long‐term …

Catheter-associated urinary tract infections are one of the most common hospital-acquired
infections. Encrustation formation results from infection of urease-producing bacteria and …

Urinary catheters and other medical devices associated with the urinary tract such as stents
are major contributors to nosocomial urinary tract infections (UTIs) as they provide an access …

Identifying the pathogen responsible for an infection is a requirement in order to personalize
antimicrobial treatments. Detecting bacterial enzymes, such as proteases, lipases, and …

During the process of transplant operation, pathogens can inevitably come in contact with
the implants to cause bacterial infections. Biofilms can then form on the implants, which can …

Optical biosensors integrated into catheter systems enable highly sensitive, multiplexed, and
real-time detection of biochemical analytes and physiological parameters within the body …

Biofilm formation induced by urease‐producing species can cause the increase of urine pH,
and eventually lead to the blockage of catheters. In this study, a novel theranostic multilayer …

There is a crucial need for effective and easily dispersible colloidal microsensors able to
detect local pH changes before irreversible damages caused by demineralization, corrosion …
