Abstract:
Antithrombotically effective drugs (heparin, pentosan polysulphate, streptokinase) were incorporated into elastomeric materials by means of zeolites as carrier. The incorporated antithrombotic agents can be delivered to the surrounding medium. These self-antithrombotic elastomers may be used as tubes to drain off body fluids (catheters, drains, etc.).
