Phosphate based glass thin films for biofilm prevention in orthopaedic implants

Biofilm infections affect 1-4% of orthopaedic implants, causing cyclical chronic pain for the affected patient and an estimated cost in the UK of around £2 billion annually [1]. Phosphate based glasses (PBGs) have been widely demonstrated to degrade in aqueous media and can be deposited in highly ad...
