LUBRICIOUS FILTER

摘要

Intravascular filters can include a filter membrane having a hydrophilic polymer coating on the filter membrane. The hydrophilic polymer coating can be on an inner surface, an outer surface or both an inner surface and an outer surface of the filter membrane. Intravascular filters including a hydrophilic polymer coating may be considered as providing increased hemocompatibility, decreased risk of filter-induced thrombosis and reduced sheathing forces.
