Radiation modification of vascular prostheses

  • 1. Politechnika Lodzka (Poland). Katedra Chemii Radiacyjnej

Description

The radiation method has been employed for the modification of the surface of vascular prostheses by means of acrylamide. As a result of the treatment, the tightness of the prosthesis walls was improved as well as an increase of surface hydrophilicity. Upon autoclaving, stable binding of polyacrylamide to prostheses is achieved. (author)
