title: [Characterization of custom-made biomaterials containing antibiotics].
abstract: The aim of this study was to evaluate the quality of custom-made antibiotic carriers which are produced for hospitals in a central service laboratory. These sterile products, made according to antibiogram, showed quality parameters which are comparable with commercially available products in terms of antibiotic release and other relevant properties.
