Infectious diseases are the leading cause of global morbidity and mortality. Healthcare facilities across the world are at significant risk of cross-contamination, which can lead to hospital-associated infections (HAIs) in patients. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) estimated that around four million patients acquire HAI annually, which leads to around 40,000 cases of mortality in patients. However, several advancements in surface treating technologies can be helpful in reducing patient exposure to harmful microorganisms. Surfaces of medical devices coated with antimicrobial substances have shown promising outcomes in reducing HAIs.
