ABSTRACT S. aureus and S. epidermidis are the most common bacteria responsible for
causing implant infections. We propose that 3D-printed antimicrobial biomedical devices are …

Implant-associated infections are not easy to diagnose and very difficult to treat, due to the
ability of major pathogens, such as Staphylococcus aureus, to develop biofilms and escape …

Three-dimensional (3D) printing techniques have received considerable focus in the area of
bone engineering due to its precise control in the fabrication of complex structures with …

This study aimed to develop novel, biodegradable, antiseptic-loaded and low-cost scaffolds
using a direct ink writing (DIW) technique for antibacterial applications. Polylactic …

Infectious bone defects present a major challenge in the clinical setting currently. In order to
address this issue, it is imperative to explore the development of bone tissue engineering …

Herein, a highly customized and broad-spectrum antibacterial implant was prepared through
the combination of 3D printing technology and surface nano-modification. The antibacterial …

Among 3D-printed composite scaffolds for bone tissue engineering, researchers have been
attracted to the use of zinc ions to improve the scaffold's anti-bacterial activity and prevent …

Novel antimicrobial 3D-printed alginate/bacterial-cellulose hydrogels with in situ-
synthesized copper nanostructures were developed having improved printability. Prior to 3D …

Two antimicrobial agents such as silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) and titanium dioxide (TiO2)
have been formulated with natural polysaccharides (chitosan or alginate) to develop …

A surgically implantable device is an inevitable treatment option for millions of people
worldwide suffering from diseases arising from orthopedic injuries. A global paradigm shift is …
