PRIMARY STUDY
3D-Printed cannabidiol stent for local treatment of urinary tract infections
Key Findings: This study developed a 3D-printed stent embedded with cannabidiol (CBD), specifically for its antimicrobial properties, and demonstrated the device's efficacy against Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria. The design was specific for stent placement in the female urethra, offering a potential novel treatment for urinary tract infections.
