Exudation of additives to the surface of medical devices: impact on biocompatibility in the case of polyurethane used in implantable catheters

Surface state is one of the most important parameters determining the biocompatibility of an implantable medical device, any change on the surface once in contact with body tissues can impact the biological response (cytotoxicity, inflammation, irritation, thrombosis, etc.). In the present study, we...
