Hierarchical inverse opal hydrogel coatings for superhydrophobic, antibacterial, and drug-responsive catheter interfaces

YLYuegao LiuYHYijun HouKFKaihong Fei

Key Points

  • This platform enables superhydrophobic and antibacterial catheter interfaces, aiding in infection resistance.
  • Key findings highlight controlled drug release and passive antifouling mechanisms to protect against infections.
  • Analysis of hydrogel coatings showcases real-time feedback for structural integrity in catheter designs.
  • This research suggests important implications for enhancing catheter functionality and reducing healthcare-associated infections.

Abstract

By integrating passive antifouling, controlled drug release, and real-time structural feedback in a single interface, this platform provides a robust route toward infection-resistant and intelligent catheter devices.
