Nitric oxide charged catheters as a potential strategy for prevention of hospital acquired infections.

Nitric oxide charged catheters as a potential strategy for prevention of hospital acquired infections.

Catheter-Associated Hospital-Acquired Infections (HAI's) are caused by biofilm-forming bacteria. Using a novel approach, we generated anti-infective barrier on catheters by charging them with Nitric Oxide (NO), a naturally-produced gas molecule. NO is slowly released from the catheter upon cont...
