Abstract

See full text

A method and related system for treating a metallic surface in order to eradicate bacteria on the metallic surface using at least three electrodes and in which the metallic surface is one of the electrodes and in which a stimulation voltage is applied to the metallic surface and an accumulated charge is measured. The accumulated charge is compared to a threshold level wherein the stimulation voltage is maintained until the accumulated charge exceeds the threshold level. In at least one version, the metallic surface is that of a surgical implant.
