BACFILM - inovação, saúde e qualidade: apresentação teórica do produto. Orientador: Francisco Edilson Leite Pinto Júnior. 2023. 52 f. Trabalho de Conclusão de Curso (Graduação em Medicina) - Departamento de Medicina, Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Norte, Natal, 2023.https://repositorio.ufrn.br/handle/123456789/53889BACFILM is an innovation in healthcare with an emphasis on improving the quality and effectiveness of medical care. It is a revolutionary product designed to prevent and treat infections related to biofilms, which are complex microbial communities capable of adhering to medical devices such as catheters, prostheses and implants. The theoretical presentation of the BACFILM product aims to provide a comprehensive overview of its functionality and benefits. BACFILM is a state-of-the-art antimicrobial coating developed based on extensive scientific research and advanced technology. This product offers an innovative approach to preventing the formation of biofilms and eliminating existing biofilms, thereby reducing the risk of persistent and difficult-to-treat infections. Application of BACFILM to medical devices results in an antimicrobial coating that acts as a protective barrier, preventing bacterial adhesion and growth. In addition, the effective antimicrobial properties of BACFILM help to eliminate bacteria present in biofilms, reducing the risk of infection. This effect contributes to improving patient safety, reducing complications and costs associated with nosocomial infections, and optimizing the quality of healthcare. The theory behind BACFILM is grounded in rigorous scientific studies that prove its effectiveness in preventing and treating biofilm-related infections. Additionally, the product has undergone clinical and regulatory testing to ensure its safety and compliance with standards set by the medical industry. By presenting BACFILM theoretically, its relevance as an innovative solution to a significant healthcare challenge is highlighted. The ability to prevent and treat biofilm-related infections can have a positive impact on the quality of healthcare, patient safety, and reduced costs for healthcare systems.Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivs 3.0 Brazilhttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/3.0/br/SepseSepsisInovaçãoInnovationMedicinaMedicineCateteresCathetersSondas VesicaisBladder ProbesbachelorThesis
