The present invention aims to provide an antithrombogenic material in which an antithrombogenic compound other than heparin or heparin derivatives is immobilized on a base material to prevent elution of the compound having antithrombogenicity from the base material, which antithrombogenic material therefore maintains high antithrombogenicity for a long period. The present invention provides an antithrombogenic material including: a coating material containing a skeletal structure composed of a polymer, a skeletal structure composed of 4-(aminomethyl)benzenecarboxyimidamide or benzene amidine, and a skeletal structure composed of methoxybenzenesulfonic acid amide; and a base material whose surface is coated with the coating material; wherein the coating material is covalently bound to the base material, and the peak abundance ratio of the carbonyl-derived component in the total component of the Cls peak as measured by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy on the surface is not less than 1.0 atomic percent.

The present invention addresses the problem of providing an artificial blood vessel which is able to retain mechanical properties required for an artificial blood vessel, rarely undergoes the formation of thrombi when grafted into a blood vessel having a small or medium diameter, and has such an excellent cell colonization property that endothelial cells can be colonized rapidly to form an endothelial tissue. Thus, the present invention provides an artificial blood vessel comprising a tubular woven fabric which is composed of at least two types of polyester fibers, i.e., a multifilament yarn A and a multifilament yarn B, and has an inner diameter of 8 mm or less and a layer thickness of 50 µm or more and 250 µm or less, wherein the multifilament yarn A has a single fiber fineness of 1.0 dtex or more and a total fineness of 33 dtex or less, the multifilament yarn B has a single fiber fineness of 0.08 dtex or less and a total fineness of 66 dtex or less, and the multifilament yarn B forms loops on the inner wall surface of the composite tubular woven fabric.

The present invention aims to provide a biodegradable particle capable of being molded without an aggregation or cohesion of the particles, capable of being carried or injected without clogging by an aggregation in a micro diameter tube such as of a catheter, needle or syringe mainly used in pharmaceutical and medical applications of which inner diameter is smaller than the particle size or in a blood vessel and capable of being smoothly degraded in a specified period of time so that degraded component can finally be absorbed or discharged in vitro. As means for solving the problem, the present invention provides a biodegradable particle characterized in that a compressive modulus of the particle in water saturated state is 10 MPa or less.
