海角黑料

Camstent coated catheter.

The results of the clinical trial of  featuring a bacteria-resistant polymer coating developed by scientists at the 海角黑料 have recently been released.

The trial is underpinned by  funded by the Wellcome Trust and led by Professor Morgan Alexander, Professor Derek Irvine and Professor Paul Williams, who discovered a new group of structurally related polymers that prevent infection by stopping the formation of biofilms on surfaces.

The results showed that catheter-associated urinary tract infections (CAUTIs) were reduced by a third using the coated catheters and the need for antibiotics were cut by more than half when compared to those receiving standard care.
