TLDR
A coating for an implant surface comprising one or more nanoparticles of less than or equal to 500 nanometers and an implant surfaces capable of receiving the nanoparticles, the implant selected from the group consisting of metal, carbon, graphite, polymer, protein, nucleic acid, microorganisms, hydrogel, liquid, porous and polymer blend particles, and combinations thereof as mentioned in this paper.Abstract:
A coating for an implant surface comprising one or more nanoparticles of less than or equal to 500 nanometers and an implant surface capable of receiving the nanoparticles, the implant selected from the group consisting of metal, carbon, graphite, polymer, protein, nucleic acid, microorganisms, hydrogel, liquid, porous and polymer blend particles, and combinations thereof. The coating promotes characteristics on the implant surface such as reducing protein unfolding, preventing inflammatory and fibrotic cell accumulation, reducing the number of such cell attachment sites and preventing other adverse biological reactions. The coating may be applied on any material via physical and/or chemical binding. The coating may further comprise a surfactant and may include a tag, adsorbed, absorbed or incorporated onto the nanoparticle. The coating on an implant surface is used for purposes that may be cosmetic, therapeutic, preventative, reconstructive, monitoring and replacement. The coating may also be used for in vitro purposes.read more
