About
Data-physics OCA-20 contact angle analyser
The high incidence of infections caused by the use of implanted biomedical devices, including catheters, bone fracture fixation pins and heart valves etc. has a severe impact on human health and health care costs with increased morbidity and mortality.
This facility is to allow you to develop and evaluate new biomaterials and coatings with anti-bacterial properties and to design and evaluate new anti-infective biomedical devices and implants.
