Silver-nanoparticle based bactericidal coating for poly(glycolide-co-lactide) suture threads obtained by the method of laser ablation of bulk targets in alcohol solutions

Suture materials — Current and emerging trends

“…Further, it also revealed an increase in antimicrobial activity of S. Aureus from 13% to 76% on reducing the capping concentrations from 5 m M to 0.1 m M respectively . In another report, AgNPs based bactericidal coating on poly (lactic‐co‐glycolic acid; PLGA) suture was generated by laser ablation technique . However, ultra‐short pulse lasers generated particles in ultrapure form with no chemical precursors as contaminants with notable particles dimension and distribution to coat over the sutures …”

“…136 In another report, AgNPs based bactericidal coating on poly (lactic-co-glycolic acid; PLGA) suture was generated by laser ablation technique. 175 However, ultrashort pulse lasers generated particles in ultrapure form with no chemical precursors as contaminants with notable particles dimension and distribution to coat over the sutures. 176,177 Recently, a long-term active antimicrobial coating for surgical sutures with silver nanoparticles and hyperbranched polylysine was developed.…”

Antibacterial and cytocompatible AgNPs constructed with the assistance of Mefp-1 for orthopaedic implants

“…13 AgNP coatings have been already used in a variety of medical products such as urinary catheters and suture threads. 14,15 Various approaches such as ultraviolet irradiation, electrochemical deposition, and plasma immersion ion implantation have been previously reported for the preparation of a AgNP coating. [16][17][18] Recently, AgNPs generated using polydopamine (a material from mussel-inspired chemistry) have experienced a considerable achievement in diverse elds such as in antibacterial surface modication on hydrogels, 19 cottons, 20 metals, 21,22 and polymers.…”

Study of Nanoinclusions Distribution in 3D Polymer Matrixes Using Electronic and Confocal Microscopy

“…The development of effective antimicrobial agents for a broad spectrum of surgical dressings, biodegradable polymers for regenerative medicine, surgical grafts [5][6][7] is of a particular importance. Modern microscopic methods are effectively used to study the morphology and structure of such composite materials, the distribution of nanoparticles in the bulk material and/or on its surface, the interaction of the material with biological material objects.…”
