Though in hindsight maybe we should have known better, given the history of lignin and natural waxes. Though especially given the history of lignin, we probably have millions of years before medical devices being eaten by microbes becomes a widespread problem that anyone seriously needs to worry about. There's bigger fish to fry right now.
