of Periprosthetic Joint Infections (PJIs) are associated with intraoperative contamination, a major clinical challenge¹

Despite numerous precautions, bacterial contamination of implants remains an unsolved problem and poses a major clinical challenge, with potentially severe consequences for patients.

Joint-related infection is a significant economic burden to the healthcare system

28% of knee revision surgeries can be attributed to PJI annually.²

$1.85B is the estimated cost to the healthcare system by 2030.³

Studies have shown that PJI has been associated with lower rates of survivorship as compared to several types of cancer.³

Mitigating the risk of bacterial contamination on implant surfaces

NanoCept^TM antibacterial technology is based on a proprietary coating that:

Demonstrates excellent safety and biocompatibility in preclinical in vivo and in vitro studies⁴
Delivers broad spectrum efficacy (up to 99.999% kill rate of bacteria commonly found in the OR)^4,*
Avoids the emergence of bacterial resistance with a non-eluting, nanoscale surface⁴

The NanoCept™ coating, where applied, is intended to reduce bacterial contamination on the surface of the coated device components prior to implantation, by killing bacteria that are deposited onto the device surface from the operating environment. The device coating is not intended for the treatment of existing infections or prevention of future infections in patients. The potential clinical impact of bacterial reduction from the NanoCept™ coating, including prevention of infection or reduction of infection risk in patients, has not been evaluated in human clinical studies.
