BioCoatCorr investigates the corrosion of stainless steel sternal wires used in heart surgery. The project aims to develop a protective coating to enhance wire durability and reduce health risks for patients.
316LVM stainless steel sternal wires (SW) are widely used in cardiothoracic surgery for chest closure.
However, in the aggressive environment of the human body, SWs are likely to corrode without a protective coating.
This can lead to the release of harmful chromium and nickel in the surrounding tissues or, worse, SW rupture with potentially life-threatening complications, such as heart lacerations. SW degradation is caused by several factors, like chloride attack promoted by the creation of conf…
