Surgical site infections are a significant patient safety concern and an economic burden to the healthcare system. They're also difficult to prevent, despite the best efforts of surgical teams at the frontlines of care. Orthopedic companies are addressing the issue with coatings and treatments that prevent harmful bacteria from forming on the surfaces of implantable devices. We recently spoke with a few industry leaders who shared their thoughts on preventing post-op infections by focusing on the source of the problem. ▪️ David Nichols, CEO of Orthobond Corporation, discussed the development of Ostaguard, an antibacterial surface treatment. ▪️ Giuseppe Cama, Head of R&D at CAM Bioceramics B.V., and Robert Kamphof highlighted the benefits of calcium phosphate antimicrobial coatings. ▪️ Patrick Treacy, Founder and CEO of Onkos Surgical, provided insights into the company's proprietary antibacterial coated implants.
