Development of plasma processes for use in cleaner production and sterilization of medical devices (PLASMA PROC/MED DEVICES)

Objective

This research work faces two major needs of the European society: to be able to get safe and environmentally acceptable products. The proposed work is dealing with the problems concerning the sterilization methods used today, especially the problem that these methods cannot inactive neither endotoxins (pyrogens) nor prions (BSE-pathogens) and the fact that especially the toxic EtO gives questionable working conditions, as well as problems for the environment and biocompatibility problems on the surface of the products. Furthermore the proposed work deals with the development of new coating techniques on high comfort low friction catheters made of new metallocene catalyzed polyolefins instead of the environmentally questionable PVC used today. The technology to be used to obtain these main goals will be plasma technology based environmentally harmless gases.
