The objective of this project is to develop new antimicrobial coatings for materials used to manufacture biomedical devices. Infection associated with the use of biomaterials such as biomedical implants, catheters and orthopaedic prostheses is a major barrier to the use of these devices. The coatings that the project plans to develop are based on novel antimicrobials which have been shown to prevent adhesion and colonisation of biomaterials by bacteria in vivo. This strategy has the potential to prevent device-related infections and revolutionise the biomaterials industry.

本项目的目标是为用于制造生物医学设备的材料开发新的抗菌涂层。与使用生物材料（如生物医学植入物、导管和骨科假体）相关的感染是使用这些器械的主要障碍。该项目计划开发的涂层是基于新型抗菌剂，已被证明可以防止生物材料在体内被细菌粘附和定植。这一策略有可能预防与器械相关的感染，并彻底改变生物材料行业。
