  • Silver nanoparticle antimicrobial coating for long-term and short-term infection resistance
    Patent number: 9107903
    Abstract: Disclosed herein is an implantable medical device including an antimicrobial layer. The antimicrobial layer may include a first distinct size of silver nanoparticles, a second distinct size of silver nanoparticles, and a third distinct size of silver nanoparticles. The antimicrobial layer extends over a surface of the implantable medical device, and, in some instances, the surface of the implantable medical device may serve as a substrate on which the antimicrobial layer is deposited.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: January 3, 2014
    Date of Patent: August 18, 2015
    Assignee: PACESETTER, INC.
    Inventors: Yelena Nabutovsky, Gene A. Bornzin, Annapurna Karicherla, Nirav Dalal, Prashant Dinesh, Richard Samade, John W. Poore

  • USE OF QUORUM SENSING INHIBITORS AND BIOFILM DISPERSING AGENTS FOR CONTROLLING BIOFILM-ASSOCIATED IMPLANTABLE MEDICAL DEVICE RELATED INFECTIONS
    Publication number: 20140005605
    Abstract: A coating on at least a portion of an implantable medical device includes a polymer and an agent that inhibits the formation of biofilms. The agent inhibiting the formation of a biofilm includes a quorum sensing inhibitor (QSI), a biofilm dispersing agent (BDA) or both. The agent may also be delivered via an actuator associated with the implantable medical device.
