Haemocompatibility and thrombogenicity

Chemical Immobilization of Heparin onto Polyurethane Surfaces

Main alternative to release systems

Constant concentration of heparin on the polymer surface to interact with antithrombin III(ATIII) and prevent thrombus formation

E.g. Hydrophilic PEO as spacer groups in conjunction with Biomer (polyurethane) to bind heparin
