Photo-reactive polymer platform for use in biomedical devices

摘要

A polymer having the following structure: where m is 0 to 10000 and n is 0 to 10000. The polymer may be used in a coating such as on a biomedical device. The polymer is an adhesion promotor for a drug delivery system wherein the polymer is coated onto a substrate such that it may be a reactive coating for UV crosslinking. The polymeric coating may also provide an interface for an implant and can be modified with a secondary polymer or polymer combination. The secondary polymer is capable of eluding drugs or encapsulating cells.
