Decreased bacteria activity on Si(3)N(4) surfaces compared with PEEK or titanium

A significant need exists for orthopedic implants that can intrinsically resist bacterial colonization. In this study, three biomaterials that are used in spinal implants – titanium (Ti), polyether-ether-ketone (PEEK), and silicon nitride (Si(3)N(4)) – were tested to understand their respective susc...
