Antibacterial Properties of Silicon Incorporated With Quaternary Ammonium Polyethylenimine Nanoparticles

November 3, 2009 updated by: Hadassah Medical Organization

Clinical Study of the Antibacterial Properties of the Nano Particles Which Incorporated With the Soft Liner Silicone - in Obturators

The aim of this study is to evaluate the antibacterial activity of crosslinked quaternary ammonium polyethylenimine (PEI) nanoparticles incorporated at 1-2% w/w in a commercial soft liner material when compared to the commercial soft liner material.

The investigators' results in vitro showed a significant delay in bacterial growth.

Therefore, the investigators assume to have the same delay in vivo- on patients.
