Medical Device
Medical devices have been used for improvement of the quality of life of human suffering form disabilities. The devices play as diagnosis, prevention, monitoring, and treatment of various diseases and illnesses. The surface of devices should be biocompatible, as it contacts human bloods, tissues and organs. A lot of surface modifications have been applied for medical devices, however those have both merits and demerits.
NOF has supplied 2-methacryloyloxyethyl phosphorylcholine (Lipidure-PC) and its polymers (Lipidure-CM5206). The polymers can inhibit surface-induced clot formation effectively, even when they contact with blood in the absence of anticoagulant. Moreover, Lipidure-PC and Lipidure-CM5206 would be applied to every bioengineering field.
