Abstract
A regenerable antimicrobial coating with long-lasting efficacy for use in medical applications including implants, medical instruments or devices, and hospital equipment is disclosed. The regenerable antimicrobial coating is derived from a polymer doped with a metal derivative which has been exposed to vapor-phase hydrogen peroxide, wherein hydrogen peroxide is sequestered in or on the doped polymer.
