- Silver nanoparticles – a material of the future…? (2016, background): “The composition of the matrix granules allows their use as a component of various types of hygiene preparations, such as ointments, lotions, mouth washes, eye or other infected part of the body [52].”
- Silver Nanoparticles and Their Antibacterial Applications (2021, methodology): “The trial established that up to 84% of the nanoparticle coating remained coated during the period studied, supporting the use of this technology to improve the antimicrobial activity and safety of catheters with nanoparticles incorporated [104].”
- Antimicrobial applications of nanotechnology: methods and literature (2012, background): “In one such study, the polymer surface of a catheter was coated with silver nanoparticles (mean average diameter = 10 nm).(38) Multiple layers of nanoparticles were coated on the material surface to provide a layer with a thickness of 80–120 nm (Figure 5).”
- Nanotechnology as a therapeutic tool to combat microbial resistance. (2013, background): “[61] showed that Ag NPs inhibit biofilm formation on plastic catheters by S.”
- Biomedical Applications of Silver Nanoparticles: An Up-to-Date Overview (2018, background): “Still, these medical devices are also a considerable source of hospital-acquired infections [116], and are considered a specific high-risk category of devices susceptible to microbial contamination and colonization phenomena [117].”
- Silver Nanoparticles as Potential Antibacterial Agents (2015, background): “Furthermore, no significant accumulation of silver was detected in the main organs of the test animals in which engineered catheters had been implanted [92].”
