Claims15
An antimicrobial coating formulation comprising:
- a base coat comprising a copolymer of tetrahydrofurfuryl acrylate and a monomer comprising a functional group amenable to further derivatization, wherein the copolymer is further modified to contain a plurality of reactive moieties;
- and
- a top coat comprising at least one antimicrobial compound, a polymer, or a combination thereof.
A method of preparing an antimicrobial-coated catheter comprising;
- forming a base coat by dissolving two or more monomers and an initiator in a solvent;
- polymerizing the monomers to form a copolymer;
- adding a reactive group to the copolymer to form a derivatized copolymer;
- forming a top coat by dissolving two or more monomers and an initiator in a solvent;
- applying the base coat to the catheter;
- and
- applying the top coat to the catheter.
