Many implantable medical devices (stents, catheters, cardiac valves…) are used everyday in many domains. The control of the interface between the medical device and the surrounding tissue is still to be improved. Many implanted devices are facing serious complications following implantation such as infections or thrombosis. These problematics are especially present for intravenous catheters used to administrate drugs. In this context, we investigated a way to strongly limit the problematics associated with their implantation, by covalently binding polymers at the surface, to reduce protein adsorption and cell adhesion on the materials used in implantation (polyurethane). The reactivity of urethanes was first studied, it allowed identifying ...
