  • Attenuation of encrustation of medical devices using coatings of inorganic fullerene-like nanoparticles
    Patent number: 11446413
    Abstract: A new approach is presented to reduce encrustation of catheters by the application of nanoparticles. It is demonstrated that the negatively surface charged nanoparticles produce coating films comprised of long-range domains in which the nanoparticles are self-assembled into a mosaic-like order, showing a relatively small tendency to agglomerate.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: January 6, 2015
    Date of Patent: September 20, 2022
    Assignees: YEDA RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT CO. LTD., MOR RESEARCH APPLICATIONS LTD.
    Inventors: Reshef Tenne, David Zbaida, Racheli Ron, Ilan Kafka, Ilan Leibovitch
