Innovative coating could give medical implants a longer life
By mimicking an adhesive protein secreted by mussels and a polymer that repels cells and proteins, researchers at Northwestern University have designed a versatile new two-sided coating that could breathe life into medical implants. Currently the longevity of certain medical implants suffers because bacteria, cells and proteins in the body gradually accumulate on the devices (known as fou...Aloe vera coating may prolong freshness, safety of fruits and vegetables
gel is best known for its therapeutic effect on burned or irritated skin, but in the future you could be eating the gel as a healthful additive to your fruits and veggies. Researchers in Spain say they have developed a gel from the tropical plant that can be used as an edible coating to prolong the quality and safety of fresh produce. The gel, which does not appear to affect fo...Antibacterial coatings cut infection rates
Putting antibacterial coatings on hip and knee implants and biomedical devices such as catheters could cut infection rates following surgery and significantly reduce health care costs and improve quality of life for patients, researchers at the University of South Australia have found. A significant number of hip and knee implants are prone to infection after surgery and in many cases are...Scientists seek to unwrap the sweet mystery of the sugar coat on bacteria
Scientists at The University of Texas at Austin have developed a quick and simple way to investigate the sugar coating that surrounds bacteria and plays a role in infection and immunity. The sugars coating bacteria can change very quickly during the course of an infection, cloaking the bacteria from the immune system of their host. Previous techniques for studying the sugars were too slow...Protein-coated dental implants could improve bone regeneration
Titanium dental implants coated with proteins that induce bone formation may be a key advancement in treating tooth loss due to gum disease, researchers say. In laboratory tests, MCG researchers applied a protein onto implants that directs endogenous stem cells to become bone-forming cells. The result was a nearly complete regeneration of lost tissue, says Dr. Ulf Wikesjö, a professor of...Corning Gaps Ii Bar-Coded Coated Slides from Sigma-Aldrich

Researchers at the University of Southampton say that docotors are not the best people to assess blood pressure. White coat hypertension is a well-known problem - it means that your blood pressure //may go up when it's measured by a doctor (the 'white coat') but be lower if a practice nurse measures it, or if you measure it yourself. Researchers in, England, have been looking at the whit...Stronger Backing for Drug-Coated Stents
New research proves drug-coated stents effectively combat death, heart attack and repeat procedures in the real world.// A new study from researchers in the Netherlands indicates that patients in clinical trials of drug-coated stents represented a very select group of the total population. This new study takes a closer look at the effects of drug-coated stents on real-world patients, pa...Drug-Coated Stents – Proven to be More Effectiv
New research proves drug-coated stents effectively combat death, heart attack and repeat procedures .A recent study done takes a closer look at the effects of drug-coated stents on patients.// The study included more than 500 patients with previously untreated blocked arteries who were treated with drug-eluting stents. An additional 450 patients with comparable blockages were treated...Self-Threading MONOKA (Fayet-Bernard Ritleng Type, PVP coating)
Description:This unique system uses prolene as thread-guide reducing time and trauma in lacrimal duct intubation. The hollow Ritleng Probe is inserted into the nasolacrimal duct and a thin prolene thread-guide is fed through it. The probe is then withdrawn leaving the polypropylene thread to pull the silicone tubing in place. Newly coated with a thin Polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) coating that makes the surface...Precedent Revision Hip Stem - HA Coated
