One of the critical issues leading to postoperative complications and prolonged recovery time especially in patients with combat-related injuries accompanied by blood loss, systemic exhaustion, and immune suppression is bacterial contamination of implant surfaces. As a result, so-called prosthetic infections often require long-term antibacterial therapy and may necessitate implant removal. Existing prevention and treatment strategies are not always effective, highlighting the need for novel approaches to inhibit bacterial adhesion and biofilm formation on implantable medical devices.
The use of metal nanoparticles, particularly silver and copper, is a promising strategy due to their pronounced antimicrobial properties. Currently, several specialized PVD methods have been developed and are classified based on the energy source used.
