Bacteria-associated infections and thrombosis, particularly catheter-related bloodstream infections and catheter-related thrombosis, are life-threatening complications. Herein, we utilize a concise assembly of heparin sodium with organosilicon quaternary ammonium surfactant to fabricate a multifunctional coating complex. In contrast to conventional one-time coatings, the complex attaches to medical devices with arbitrary shapes and compositions through a facile dipping process and further forms robust coatings to treat catheter-related bloodstream infections and thrombosis simultaneously. Through their robustness and adaptively dissociation, coatings not only exhibit good stability under extreme conditions but also significantly reduce thrombus adhesion by 60%, and shows broad-spectrum antibacterial activity ( > 97%) in vitro and in vivo. Furthermore, an ex vivo rabbit model verifies that the coated catheter has the potential to prevent catheter-related bacteremia during implantation. This substrate-independent and portable long-lasting multifunctional coating can be employed to meet the increasing clinical demands for combating catheter-related bloodstream infections and thrombosis.
细菌相关感染和血栓形成,特别是导管相关血流感染和导管相关血栓形成,是危及生命的并发症。在此,我们利用肝素钠与有机硅季铵盐表面活性剂的简洁组装,构建了一种多功能涂层复合物。与传统的一次性涂层不同,该复合物通过简单的浸渍工艺附着在具有任意形状和组成的医疗器械上,并进一步形成坚固的涂层,同时治疗导管相关血流感染和血栓形成。通过其稳健性和适应性解离,涂层不仅在极端条件下表现出良好的稳定性,而且还能显著减少血栓黏附,减少 60%,并在体外和体内表现出广谱抗菌活性(>97%)。此外,兔离体模型验证了涂层导管在植入过程中有预防导管相关菌血症的潜力。这种与基底无关且便携的长效多功能涂层可用于满足日益增长的临床需求,以对抗导管相关血流感染和血栓形成。
