Recent Development

In May 2023, 

Boston Scientific announced the launch of its Symphony foley catheter, which is designed to reduce the risk of urinary tract infections (UTIs). The catheter features a proprietary silver alloy coating that has been shown to be effective in killing bacteria.

In May 2022

In a provincial government draft obtained by CBC News, the region of Ontario is considering a new policy which could see school staff perform some health services for students.

In April 2022

some Researchers from the Indian Institute of Technology Roorkee (IIT Roorkee) have deciphered a novel mechanism of Disulfiram in treating blood infections and pneumonia caused by the Metallo-beta-lactamase producing Acinetobacter baumannii, a nosocomialtop priority pathogen.

The research group from UBC(University of British Columbia) and the Vancouver Coastal Health Research Institute has developed a silver-based coating that can easily be applied to devices such as catheters and stents. Its novel formulation, discovered by screening dozens of chemical components, overcomes the complications of silver that have challenged scientists for years.
