Medical device with reduced frictional properties and method for reducing friction

摘要

The invention relates to a medical device with reduced frictional properties, characterized in that at least two of the contact surfaces inside the device and/or between the device and its environment are provi- ded with means for reducing, changing and/or eliminating biological/biochemical responses of the human or animal body and/or human or animal body fluids which occur in reaction to the contact with the device. The device may further comprise means for providing a fluid layer be- tween the contact surfaces inside the device and/or between the device and its environment.
