Welcome on the home page of
the MEDDELCOAT project.
The MEDDELCOAT project aims
at gaining the appropriate scientific and processing knowledge to
assist the SMEs in the development of the next generations of
multifunctional bioresorbable biocompatible coatings with biofilm
inhibition and optimal implant fixation through a combinatorial
approach that should eliminate the currently experienced need for
implant revisions due to implant loosening and infections.
This project is funded by the
European Commission within the 6th framework.
The IP-SME project started on
October 1st 2006, with a duration of 4 years.
