• Controlling Hospital-Acquired Infection: Focus on the Role of the Environment and New Technologies for Decontamination (2014, methodology): “Diamond-like carbon (DLC) films similarly repel microbial adhesion and have been used as nontoxic surface coatings for devices such as joint prostheses or stents (212).”
• Nanodiamond Particles: Properties and Perspectives for Bioapplications (2009, background): “378 DLC-coated heart valves and stents are already commercially available from the Cardio Carbon Company offering DLC-coated titanium implants; Sorin Biomedica produces heart valves and stents coated with Carbofilm™; the company PHYTIS sells DLC-coated stents.”
• Corrosion of Metallic Biomaterials: A Review (2019, background): “On the hand, findings from both in vitro and in vivo tests on the suitability of DLC-coated bearing surfaces of joint replacement remain inconclusive [360,363,365].”
