Nanosilver-impregnated silk suture
A team of researchers from ENES-Leon, which is affiliated to the National Autonomous University of Mexico, has developed a highly stable colloidal synthesis of positively charged nanosilver using a polymer.
The biological impact of this synthesis was recently published in ACS Omega, where its effectiveness in coating silk sutures and inhibiting the growth of micro-organisms was detailed by the research team.
