Enhanced antimicrobial efficacy by impregnation of vascular grafts with nanocolloidal silver
Impregnating vascular grafts from polyester and bovine pericardium with a nanocolloidal silver spray, before inoculation with a bacterial suspension, significantly reduced bacterial colonization on the grafts. The procedure proved feasible and should be tested further in in vitro and in vivo trials.
