The purpose of this meeting was to bring together an international community of experts to discuss the current state of the art and the vision for a future where we can eliminate infections on biomaterials. This work has applications to infection control for a wide variety of implanted biomedical devices, including urinary and central venous catheters, contact lenses, orthopedic implants, feeding tubes, and more.
