Prevention of Encrustation on Ureteral Stents: Which Surface Parameters Provide Guidance for the Development of Novel Stent Materials?

Prevention of Encrustation on Ureteral Stents: Which Surface Parameters Provide Guidance for the Development of Novel Stent Materials?

Encrustations of ureteral stents are one of the biggest problems with urological implants. Crystalline biofilms can occur alone or in combination with bacterial biofilms. To identify which surface parameters provide guidance for the development of novel stent materials, we used an in vitro encrustat...
