Abstract
An antithrombogenic material whose stickiness to cells is maintained but whose stickiness to blood platelet is inhibited, is disclosed, which comprises a substrate and a biopolymer material coated on said substrate, the antithrombogenic material being obtained by irradiating the biopolymer material with ion beam to maintain its stickiness to a cell but reduce its stickiness to a blood platelet. In accordance with the present invention, there is also provided a method for producing the antithrombogenic material.
Claims9
An antithrombogenic material comprising:
- a substrate;
- and
- a biopolymer material coated on said substrate,
- said antithrombogenic material being obtained by irradiating the biopolymer material with ion beam to maintain its stickiness to a cell but reduce its stickiness to a blood platelet.
A method for producing an antithrombogenic material composed of a substrate and a biopolymer material coated thereon, comprising the step of irradiating ion beam onto the biopolymer material coated on the substrate, said irradiated ion beam having an acceleration energy of 50 to 150 kev and containing 1.times.10.sup.14 to 1.times.10.sup.17 ions per cm.sup.2.
An antithrombogenic article comprising:
- a substrate having a blood contact surface;
- an applied layer of an ordinarily thrombogenic biopolymer material coated on said blood contact surface selected from the group consisting of gelatin, collagen, fibronectin, laminin and vitronectin, said applied layer having an exposed surface opposite the blood contact surface including a substantially non-thrombogenic surface portion comprising denatured biopolymer material, said substantially non-thrombogenic surface portion being obtained by irradiating the exposed surface of the applied layer with ion beam irradiation at from about 1.times.10.sup.14 to about 1.times.10.sup.17 ions/cm.sup.2 at an acceleration energy of from about 50 to about 150 keV until said substantially nonthrombogenic surface portion is obtained.
