ABSTRACT:
A medical implant, such as an orthopedic implant, having a first antimicrobial coating layer and a second protective layer, and a method for coating such an implant is provided. The medical implant has one or more of its surfaces coated with an antimicrobial coating layer and a protective coating layer formed over the antimicrobial coating layer. The protective coating layer includes a durable coating layer composed of material such as collodion and nylon, and a resilient coating layer composed of material such as collodion. The coating layers are applied by applying an antimicrobial coating layer to at least a portion of the surfaces of the medical implant, applying a durable coating layer over the antimicrobial coating layer, and applying a resilient coating layer over the durable coating layer.
