Abstract
Abstract The invention relates to a method for applying a blood-compatible polyethylene oxide coating to polyether-urethane moulded articles like catheters, for instance oxygen sensor catheters. The so obtained blood-compatible articles may advantageously be used in the case of long-term contact with blood or body tissue.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 12
Claim 1
Independent Claim
51 words
Method for applying a blood-compatible coating to a polyether-urethane moulded article, characterized in that a layer of polyethylene oxide with a weight average molecular weight in the range of 1,500-1,500,000 is applied to the polyether-urethane moulded article and the polyethylene oxide layer applied is then linked to the polyethylene-urethane moulded article.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
51 words
Method for applying a blood-compatible coating to a polyether-urethane moulded article, characterized in that a layer of polyethylene oxide with a weight average molecular weight in the range of 1,500-1,500,000 is applied to the polyether-urethane moulded article and the polyethylene oxide layer applied is then linked to the polyethylene-urethane moulded article.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
21 words
Method according to Claim 1, characterized in that polyethylene oxide with a molecular weight in the range of 100,000-300,000 is used.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
24 words
Method according to Claim 1 or 2, characterized in that the linking is carried out thermally at a temperature in the range of 80-180°C.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
22 words
Method according to Claim 3, characterized in that the linking is carried out thermally at a temperature in the range of 100-150°C.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
58 words
