Abstract:
The present invention is directed to a vehicle for effecting drug delivery from a solid substrate. Hydrogels loaded with liposomal therapeutic agents such as antibiotics are covalently bonded to the surface of substrates such as in-dwelling medical devices, such as implants, catheters, and the like. The present invention is particularly useful in the treatment and prevention of biofilm mediated infection often associated with the use of in-dwelling medical devices.
