Nanoshape

Nanoshape aims to reduce implant infections. Using a nanostructure inspired by dragonfly wings, we can improve artificial joints, bone plates and dental implants, for example, to give them antibacterial properties. The fascinating thing: The technology does not work by adding active substances such as antibiotics, but utilises purely structural effects at nano level. This can significantly reduce both the risks for those affected and the enormous follow-up costs for the healthcare system.
