Despite antibiotics preventive treatment before and after implantation, risk of infection is real. The infections at the implant surface developein a few months after applying them into the body. To prevent the development of bacteria and to reduce the risk of infection, implants coated with silver layer come into use. The paper presents the research results in biological environment on vein and orthopaedicimplants covered with silver.
