Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A device and method for providing antimicrobial activity around a surgical implant. Antimicrobial activity is provided by the inclusion of a highly conductive material to a surgical implant and providing a low electrical charge to the implant. Electrical charge is provided by a static generator or battery attached to the implant or attached via electrical leads.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A medical device comprising, a static generator for generating an electrical charge that is electrically connected to an endoprosthetic implant comprising a coating of a galvanic metal or compound so that electrical charge can flow over the surgical implant to the galvanic metal or compound, wherein said static generator comprises one or more, rotating, closely stacked discs. 2. The medical device of claim 1 , wherein said means for gener…
