microDTTect is a closed in-vitro-system to enable antibiofilm treatments for retrieved implants and biopsies. It allows for transporting and processing samples in a closed system. Dithiothreitol (DTT) dissolves the polysaccharide matrix of the biofilm and dislodges bacteria for further identification and determination.
- Easy handling in the OR
- Safe transport from OR to the microbiology lab in a closed system
- Reduced risk of contamination
- Effective dissolution of biofilm on implants and tissue
- Increasing sensitivity and specificity in PJI-diagnostics
