Accelerated neutral atom beam (ANAB) and gas clustered ion beam (GCIB) treatment of implantable device polymers leads to decreased bacterial attachment in vitro and decreased inflammation in vivo

Accelerated neutral atom beam (ANAB) and gas clustered ion beam (GCIB) treatment of implantable device polymers leads to decreased bacterial attachment in vitro and decreased inflammation in vivo

Infections at the placement site of biomaterial-based devices and subsequent scar formation results in morbidity, which may require revision surgery. Biomaterials intended for permanent implantation in the body need to be biologically inert to avoid excessive foreign body response and to reduce bact...
