Abstract
A medical material which comprises an oil-soluble vitamin hydrophobically bound to a hydrophobic moiety containing macromer which is bound to the surface of a polymeric substrate via a copolymer is described. Suitable macromers include for example glycidyl methacrylate-linoleic acid. Suitable polymeric substrate materials include, in particular, cellulose. Methods for producing said medical material are also provided.
Claims9
A medical material which comprises an oil-soluble vitamin hydrophobically bound to a hydrophobic moiety containing macromet, said hydrophobic bond between said oil-soluble vitamin and said hydrophobic moiety occurring in the presence of water, and said macromer is bound to the surface of a polymeric substrate, wherein said macromer is bound to the surface of the polymeric substrate via a copolymer, wherein the copolymer contains a reactive group, which reactive group is covalently bonded with a functional group contained on the surface of said polymeric substrate.
