| abstract |
This invention is a composition having anti-thrombogenic properties, comprising as essential constituent components a polyurethane or polyurethane urea containing polytetramethylene oxide in its main chain, a water soluble and/or water swellable macromolecules, and a silicon-containing compound capable of forming polysiloxane while crosslinking; and a blood contact medical device having such a composition on blood contact surfaces. According to this invention, it is possible to provide on blood contact surfaces a hydrophilic polymer which is excellent in dynamic properties and very rich in the antithrombogenic properties, and the invention can be greatly contributory in the field of blood contact medical devices. |
