Inkjet based 3D Printing of bespoke medical devices that resist bacterial biofilm formation (2020)
Working Paper
He, Y., Begines, B., Luckett, J., Dubern, J., Hook, A., Prina, E., …Wildman, R. D. Inkjet based 3D Printing of bespoke medical devices that resist bacterial biofilm formation

We demonstrate the formulation of advanced functional 3D printing inks that prevent the formation of bacterial biofilms in vivo. Starting from polymer libraries, we show that a biofilm resistant object can be 3D printed with the potential for shape a...

Real time monitoring of biofilm formation on coated medical devices for the reduction and interception of bacterial infections (2020)
Journal Article
Kurmoo, Y., Hook, A. L., Harvey, D., Dubern, J., Williams, P., Morgan, S. P., …Alexander, M. R. (2020). Real time monitoring of biofilm formation on coated medical devices for the reduction and interception of bacterial infections. Biomaterials Science, 8(5), 1464-1477. https://doi.org/10.1039/c9bm00875f

Real time monitoring of bacterial attachment to medical devices provides opportunities to detect early biofilm formation and instigate appropriate interventions before infection develops. This study utilises long period grating (LPG) optical fibre se...
