Transmission of bacterial infections, including MRSA and MSSA could be curbed by coating hospitals surfaces with microscopic bumps that mimic the scaly surface of shark skin, according to research published in the open access journal “Antimicrobial Resistance and Infections Control”. In other word the mimicking of the shark’s skin is useful to prevent from bacterial infections to spread in hospitals facilities . The study modelled how well different materials prevented from spread of human disease bacteria through touching sneezes and spillages .
The micropattern named sharklet ™ , is an arrangement of ridges formulated to resemble shark skin. this benefits the patients and doctors from bacteria infection disease . It protects environmental surfaces and medical devices. Scientist, Dr. Ethan Mann says, “The Sharklet texture is designed to be manufactured directly into the surfaces of plastic products that …show more content…
More likely to expose and kill the bacteria than any other surface. “Shark skin itself is not an antimicrobial surface; rather it seems highly-adapted to resist attachment of living organisms such as algae and barnacles,” said Dr Mann. “Shark skin has a specific roughness and certain properties that determine organisms from attaching to the skin surface. We have learned much from nature in building this material texture for the future.” This can definitely help hospitals from preventing bacteria be in their surface grounds . Sharklet does not use any antimicrobial or antibiotics. It resists bacterial contamination. Special material can keep materials medical devices clean This is our future manufactures. A fact about the sharklet, it is stronger from preventing microbes attaching than copper does. Copper only resists up to 80%, Sharklet resists up to 94%. That 14% more resistant towards bacterial
