IMPLANTABLE MEDICAL ARTICLES HAVING PRO-HEALING COATINGS

摘要

Coatings including adhesion factors for the surfaces of implantable medical articles are disclosed. The coatings are used to improve the function of the device by promoting a pro-healing response following implantation. The coatings can modulate endothelialization of the article surface to reduce the risk of adverse tissue responses that may reduce the functionality of the device.
