New Medical Materials for Urology

The influence of some polymer surface properties on bacterial attachment to the surface of the elastomeric and thermoplastic samples was shown. As promising materials in this field, butadiene-styrene thermoplastic elastomers (BSTPE) showed average characteristics of bacterial adhesion in comparison with other materials. All materials have passed cytotoxicity test. © 2016 by Apple Academic Press, Inc.
