Description

Surface modification is becoming an increasingly popular method to Improve the surface properties of biomedical materials and implants. Among the techniques plasma processes have been attracting attention because of their high effect and low cost. In this paper some application of plasma processes such as plasma modification, plasma polymerization, films synthesis, and plasma based ion implantation etc to modify blood contacting biomaterials and implants are presented. The authors work on the surface modification of artificial heart valves, stents and catheter etc. are provided. The further development of this discipline is discussed
