Poly(DL-lactic acid) scaffolds adsorbed with minocycline and voriconazole: a new pathway towards infection containment

Abstract

Bone infection (osteomyelitis): burden as a clinical complication of orthopedic surgeries. Controlled antimicrobial release systems: treat and prevent osteomyelitis. Biomaterials based on porous scaffolds: local administration of high concentration of drugs; no systemic toxicity; extended time. Scaffolds in bone tissue engineering: a combination of bioresorbable polymers with bioactive bioglasses; present biodegradability and biosafety; suitable microenvironment and structure; favor osteogenic differentiation and cell growth. Co-encapsulation of drugs: advantageous means for administration of drugs; novel strategy directed to the co-delivery of two antimicrobials (voriconazole and minocycline).info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersio
