MITIGATING THROMBUS FORMATION ON MEDICAL DEVICES BY INFLUENCING PH MICROENVIRONMENT NEAR THE SURFACE

摘要

The present disclosure provides treatments of medical devices which inhibit thrombus formation. At least a portion of a substrate of a medical device includes a surface possessing a functionality and / or surface charge adapted to modulate the pH of the surface of the medical device, as well as the pH microenvironment near the surface of a medical device.
