Chapter
Blood Compatible Polymers
Abstract
Medical devices made from polymeric materials come in contact with blood in a wide range of applications, including stents, artificial vascular grafts, hemodialysis membranes, catheters, and sutures, among others. In this chapter, an overview of the ongoing investigations with blood compatible polymers is provided. A summary of polymers used in blood contacting devices will be given, followed by details focusing on each of the types of polymers …
