Colorado State University researchers have come up with a potential solution to blood-clotting and infection in medical implants: ‘superhemophobic’ titanium surfaces.
In a study published in the journal Advanced Healthcare Materials, researchers shared the results of a collaboration between the labs of Arun Kota and Ketul Popat of the CSU’s mechanical and biomedical engineering departments. Their work blends biomedical engineering with material science, offering a possible way of reducing blood clotting and infections, which are problems for patients requiring medical implants.
