Abstract
Disclosed are polymer fibers incorporating metal nanoparticles and medical devices made therefrom. The disclosed polymer fibers can be utilized to form medical devices, including implantable medical devices, with effective antimicrobial properties. The disclosed polymer fibers incorporate metal nanoparticles that function without the release of metal (e.g., silver) ions.
