New coating prevents protein adhesion to reduce hospital infections

"All you're left with at the end is a small dot of residue that just flakes off at the slightest touch: even a small puff of air is enough to make it fly off the surface. You could also wash it off with plain water, rather than harsh chemicals like bleach."

"This collaboration demonstrates our ongoing commitment to science-driven innovation in infection prevention. Leveraging the recognized expertise of Dr. Golovin's DREAM lab in surface engineering enables deeper insights into how contaminants interact with materials. By supporting early-stage research, we are enabling the development of more sophisticated and resilient protective solutions designed to better safeguard patients and healthcare professionals," says Dr. Nektaria Markoglou, VP Scientific Affairs who heads the R&D Department at Meltech Innovation Canada Inc.
