Abstract:
Research is continually under way to improve biocompatibility performance in biomaterials. This article discusses a technique for the covalent attachment of heparin and other drugs onto a variety of polymer and metal surfaces. It offers the potential to improve haemocompatibility and lubricity in a number of medical device applications as well as new drug-delivery systems.
