Dr. Prabaha Sikder, Asst.Professor, Cleveland State University delivered a virtual technical talk titled “Multifunctional Orthopedic Biomaterials” under the Colloquium Lecture series of Academic Year 2021-22 organized by School of Mechanical Engineering, KIIT-DU on September 25, 2021.
Starting with a brief on Antibacterial Bio-compatible Implant coating, he talked about the problem faced by the human being with Surgical Site infection (SSI) at the place of surgery. He emphasized how to avoid pre-dominant way of SSI treatment in health care without second surgery by introducing anti-bacterial coating on orthopaedic implants.
