An estimated 30%³ of Orthopaedic cases may result in infection and more than 65%⁴ of the infection are related to biofilm. ZNN with Bactiguard Technology reduces the risk of bacterial adhesion and subsequent biofilm formation⁵ for patients that require an intramedullary nail while avoiding the challenges associated with antibiotic resistance.

ZNN with Bactiguard Coating technology provides a promising alternative to current infection management approaches that often result in significantly higher treatment costs and resource allocation.

The coating consists of a thin, non-continuous layer of discrete clusters that are firmly bound to the implant surface through covalent bonds⁶.
