Abstract
The use of polymers in repair of the vascular system and in extracorporeal handling of blood is reviewed. Discussed are the adsorption of protein on surfaces as studied via infrared multiple internal reflectance spectroscopy, in vivo experiments involving implanted cannulas, pre-coating of polymers with albumin, and the adhesion of baby hamster kidney cells to polymer surfaces.
