Synergistic dual-nanostructure antibacterial-antifouling coating for tracheostomy tubes to reduce ventilator-associated pneumonia
The Ag₂O-MSNs@OTES coating effectively combats VAP via synergistic effects, with favorable short-term stability, excellent biocompatibility, and low cost (<$5/tube), supporting its potential for clinical translation. Further long-term stability tests are required to validate performance over extended clinical use.
