Bioactive Textiles Integrating bacteriophages
Preventing Surgical Implant & Wound Infections before
Treatment is Required
OSPT's technology enables the prophylactic use of phages.
The controlled addition of a multiplicity of bacteriophages to yarns creates bioactive textile devices with complex phage patterns within their entire depth.
The technology provides longer lasting, cost-effective bactericidal activity against the most problematic and resistant bacteria, minimizing the risks of infection and reducing antibiotic use.
​Unique Proprietary Technology :
​
-
Non-toxic and natural, OSPT uses phage’s innate antibacterial activity.
-
OSPT's bio-active devices comprise phages self-replicating upon bacteria contact.
-
Rsks of bacteria resistance is lowered - Phage diversity enables the selection of stable phages and the evolution of the phage strains where needed.
OSPT's technology offers alternative prevention products to reduce the risk of bacterial infection following patient’s surgical procedures, by enabling the prophylactic use of bacteriophages. Successful use is anticipated to reduce the need for antibiotic treatment post infection, thereby contributing to preserve antibiotics for urgent clinical setting needs. The devices ultimately developed will ensure that patients’ chronic conditions are not worsened through routine treatment, or simple surgical procedures do not harm patients more than they heal them.
