Coatings play a crucial role in patient care by providing several benefits:
Infection Control: Antimicrobial coatings help in reducing the risk of infections, which is critical in a healthcare setting. Enhanced Healing: Certain coatings like hydrocolloid and silicone can promote faster and more effective wound healing. Patient Comfort: Coatings that reduce friction can significantly improve patient comfort, especially for those with long-term catheter use.
