A Microfluidic-Based Investigation of Bacterial Attachment in Ureteral Stents

A Microfluidic-Based Investigation of Bacterial Attachment in Ureteral Stents

Obstructions of the ureter lumen can originate from intrinsic or extrinsic factors, such as kidney stones, tumours, or strictures. These can affect the physiological flow of urine from the kidneys to the bladder, potentially causing infection, pain, and kidney failure. To overcome these complication...
