7. Devices to fight catheter-related infections

Author

Abstract

Healthcare-Associated Infections (HAI) affect ~1.7 M people in the USA and 4.1 M in Europe, contributing to 99,000 and 37,000 deaths/year, respectively. Catheter-related infections are the most frequent cause of HAI, leading to life-threatening complications and colossal medical costs. Current prevention/treatment options – sterilization protocols, lock solutions, systemic antibiotic administration – are inefficient and lead to bacterial resistance, a huge threat to public health. This review addresses the existing solutions in the market – mostly catheter caps –, and emerging alternatives, to fight catheter-related infections. Graphene-based biomaterials arise as interesting weapons against these infections, particularly in combination with light: their photothermal and photodynamic properties boost their own antimicrobial action, allowing them to kill bacteria without contributing to bacterial resistance., Healthcare-Associated Infections (HAI) affect ~1.7 M people in the USA and 4.1 M in Europe, contributing to 99,000 and 37,000 deaths/year, respectively.

Abstract

In this study, a light-activated cap was developed, envisaging a biomedical application. The cap was composed of an optical source that illuminates an optical waveguide coated with graphene oxide (GO). Interaction of the light with GO boosts its properties through photothermal and photodynamic effects. A laser diode and polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) filaments were explored as optical source and optical waveguide, respectively. The deposition of GO on the surface of the filaments was performed by dip-coating method. The optical and thermal properties of the cap, composed of the laser coupled to the PMMA optical waveguide, were evaluated using an IR viewer and a thermal camera. Herein, the obtained experimental results are reported. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
