BACKGROUND Hydrocephalus is managed by surgically implanting flow-diversion technologies such as differential pressure valves and antisiphoning devices; however, such hardware is prone to failure. Extensive research has tested them in flow-control...

Development of dual anti-biofilm and anti-bacterial medical devices (2020)
Journal Article
Burroughs, L., Singh, S., Ashraf, W., Martinez-Pomares, L., Bayston, R., & Hook, A. L. (2020). Development of dual anti-biofilm and anti-bacterial medical devices. Biomaterials Science, 8(14), 3926-3934. https://doi.org/10.1039/d0bm00709a

The rising occurrence of antimicrobial resistance demands new strategies for delivering antibiotics to ensure their effective use. In this study, a multi-functional strategy to address medical device associated infections is explored whereby an anti-...
