Abstract
In embodiments, medical devices have a surface that includes a catalytic material, and a non-fouling material attached to the surface. The non-fouling material can be released from the surface, for example, by cleavage of a bond connecting the material to the surface. The bond can be a chemical bond, such as a covalent bond.
Claims35
An endoprosthesis, comprising:
- a surface comprising a catalytic material, and
- a non-fouling material attached to the surface, wherein the material reduces adsorption of a protein to the surface and has a preferentially cleavable link connecting the material to the surface.
A method of forming an endoprosthesis, comprising:
- coating a surface with a temporary non-fouling layer, the surface comprising a catalytic material, the layer reducing adsorption of a protein to the surface and allowing H2O2 to the surface.
