Zusammenfassung:The present invention is directed to thrombo-resistant coatings for use with gas permeable biomedical devices and implants. The coatings include a siloxane surface onto which a plurality of amine functional groups have been bonded. Covalently bonded to the amine functional groups are a plurality of poly(ethylene oxide) chains, such that a single poly(ethylene oxide) chain is bonded to a single amine functional group. A quantity of at least one bioactive molecule designed to counteract a specific blood-material incompatibility reaction is covalently bonded to the poly(ethylene oxide) chains, such that a single bioactive molecule is coupled to a single polyethylene oxide chain. The methods of manufacturing the present invention include preparing a material having a siloxane surface onto which a plurality of amine functional groups have been bonded. This is preferably achieved by plasma etching with ammonia gas. The amine-containing siloxane surface is reacted with poly(ethylene oxide) chains terminated with functional groups capable of reacting with the amine groups on the siloxane surface. The material is then reacted with a solution of at least one bioactive molecule which counteracts a blood-material incompatibility reaction, such that a single bioactive molecule is coupled to a single poly(ethylene oxide) chain. The resulting siloxane surface is capable of resisting blood-material incompatibility reactions while maintaining high gas permeability.
