| Core Tip |
Implant-associated infection is the most feared complication after joint replacement. We investigated the osteoconductive and antimicrobial properties of a titanium-copper-nitride (TiCuN) film and an additional BONIT® coating on titanium. TiCuN released high amounts of copper quickly within 24 h and after 2 d, no planktonic or adherent Staphylococcus epidermidis were found on these samples. A high colonization by osteoblast-like MG 63 cells was found after pre-incubation in medium for 24 h. TiCuN inhibits the formation of bacterial bio-films on orthopedic implants by influencing the “race for the surface” to the advantage of osteoblasts. |
