ABSTRACT:
The incorporation of one or more therapeutic agents on metallic and non-metallic medical prostheses is provided. The therapeutic agent can be used, for example, to prevent, treat, or reduce bacterial and fungal infections associated with these implants. Additionally, the therapeutic agents can be used to effect other therapeutic benefits. Specifically, a bilayer therapeutic coating is applied in two steps. Additionally, non-antimicrobial therapeutic agents may be incorporated in this coating to treat, prevent, modify, or stimulate certain clinical bioactivities.
