Journal ArticleDOI
The relationship between the nanostructure of titanium surfaces and bacterial attachment.
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that certain nanometer sized Ti topographies may be useful for reducing bacteria adhesion while promoting bone tissue formation and, thus, should be further studied for improving the efficacy of Ti-based orthopedic implants.
Journal ArticleDOI
Nano rough micron patterned titanium for directing osteoblast morphology and adhesion
TL;DR: Evidence is provided that aligned nanophase metal features on the surface of titanium improved early osteoblast functions (morphology and adhesion) promising for their long term functions, criteria necessary to improve orthopedic implant efficacy.
Journal ArticleDOI
Decreased bacteria activity on Si3N4 surfaces compared with PEEK or titanium

TL;DR: The findings of this study suggest that surface properties of biomaterials lead to differential adsorption of physiologic proteins, and that this phenomenon could explain the observed in-vitro differences in bacterial affinity for the respective biommaterials.
Journal ArticleDOI
Nanotextured titanium surfaces for enhancing skin growth on transcutaneous osseointegrated devices.
TL;DR: The results from this in vitro study provided the first evidence that nano-modification techniques should be further researched as a means to possibly improve skin growth, thereby improving transcutaneous osseointegrated orthopedic implant longevity.
Journal ArticleDOI
Greater osteoblast and endothelial cell adhesion on nanostructured polyethylene and titanium
TL;DR: Evidence is provided that electron beam evaporation can modify implant surfaces to have nanostructured surface features to improve osteoblast and endothelial cell adhesion and is suggested to be further studied for improving materials for various biomedical applications.
