摘要:
A medical material has a compound firmly immobilized on the surface thereof, which compound is capable of inhibiting both of the blood coagulation reactions in a primary hemostasis stage in which platelets are involved and in a coagulation thrombus formation stage in which blood coagulation factors are involved in a state retaining the anticoagulant activity. The present invention provides a medical material having a hydrophilic polymer compound immobilized on the surface thereof, in which a compound and a copolymer of monomers selected from the group consisting of ethylene glycol, vinyl acetate, vinyl pyrrolidone, propylene glycol, vinyl alcohol and siloxane are bound.
摘要:
Processes are described herein for preparing medical devices and other articles having a low-fouling surface on a substrate comprising a polymeric surface. The polymeric surface material may possess a range of polymeric backbones and substituents while providing the articles with a highly efficient, biocompatible, and non-fouling surface. The processes involve treating the substrate to reduce the concentration of chemical species on the surface of or in the substrate without altering the bulk physical properties of the device or article, and thereafter forming a grafted polymer layer on the treated substrate surface.

摘要:
A substrate (for example an implantable medical device) is provided with a lubricious surface by grafting onto the surface monomers containing acrylamide groups and then hydrolysing said groups under alkaline conditions, the grafting step being carried out in an aqueous environment.
摘要:
Coatings, devices and methods are provided, wherein the contacting surface of a medical device with at least one contacting surface for contacting a bodily fluid or tissue is modified by plasma treatment in a plasma including nitrogen-containing molecules and oxygen-containing molecules and by application of a biologically compatible coating, preferably by plasma treatment in a plasma including polymerized hydrocyclosiloxane monomers. The nitrogen-containing molecules include NH3, (NH4)null, N2O, NO, NO2 and N2O4, and the oxygen-containing molecules include O2 and O3. The plasma-modified contacting surface exhibits decreased adhesion of at least some mammalian cells, such as platelets and leukocytes, decreased restenosis when used with stents, and increased apoptosis. Additional layers may be applied, including amine-providing groups such as N-trimethylsilyl-allylamine, polyoxyalkylene tethers, and bioactive compounds.
摘要:
The present invention is a broadly applicable methodology for making a bioactive titanium surface which would be clinically-acceptable and effective as either an anti-thrombin, thrombolytic or growth promoting surface coating, or any combination of these. The bioactive surface can be prepared using any material comprising titanium in whole or in part; is suitable for inclusion upon the exposed surfaces of surgically implantable prostheses comprising titanium; offers a means for avoiding systemic anticoagulation therapy to reduce thrombus formation and thromboembolism in the living subject receiving a surgically implanted prosthesis; and provides a means to induce cellular attachment and proliferation onto the titanium surface of the implant.
摘要:
A method of modifying surfaces of a device, for example, a medical device, is disclosed. The method includes modifying a surface of a device by providing a device, exposing the device to a reactive gas and plasma energy to create a plasma deposited surface on the device, and quenching the device with the reactive gas. The device exhibits changes in its surface properties thereby making it more desirable for an intended use.
摘要:
A process for forming a surface modification on a polymer substrate and polymer substrates having such surface modifications. The process comprises the steps of absorbing a swelling monomer into the polymer substrate for a period of time in order to swell the polymer substrate; removing the swollen polymer from the swelling monomer; transferring the swollen polymer to a reaction mixture containing at least one functional monomer; polymerizing the functional monomer in the reaction mixture containing the swollen polymer substrate for a period of time; and removing the polymer from the reaction mixture. Because the surface modification produced by the process is a surface interpenetrating polymer network, the process is not sensitive to the reactive groups located on the surface of the polymer substrate. Further, the surface interpenetrating network bonds to the polymer substrate through caternary connections or other forms of chain entanglement and thus is quite stable. Polymer substrates having the surface modification of the present invention are capable of having a surface modification agent, such as heparin, adhere to the surface of the polymer substrate.
