Abstract

We have shown that C//1//8 alkylation of polyurethane sheets and tubes selectively increases the affinities of these materials for albumin, in vitro and in vivo. We have also demonstrated a correlation between the enhancement of albumin affinity by this process and improved thromboresistance. In this study we extend the alkylation technique to open cell polyurethane foams of high porosity and pore size, such as are used in blood filtration devices. We report the enhancement of the albumin affinity of these materials by this technique, both with and without Antifoam A pretreatment.
