ABSTRACT:
A surgical knife blade or other surgical device containing an anti-microbial coating. The coating may be adhered to the device by a water-soluble adhesive that allows the anti-microbial coating to be released into the wound track. The coating may be of a consistency that allows a certain amount of the coating to slough off and pool or puddle around the surgical site as the surgical device is moved into and out of the surgical site.
