Thermoformed medical device with lubricious modified polyethylene oxide layer

摘要

This invention provides a medical device in which its lubricity is continually maintained and its safety is guaranteed. Particularly, it provides a medical device in which lubricity is generated on at least a portion of its surface when the device is contacted with body fluids or exposed to physiological aqueous conditions, wherein the lubricity-generating portion is formed by thermoforming.
