Abstract
Abstract The disclosure is of articles having reduced thrombogenicity and which are useful for purposes requiring their contact with whole blood. The articles comprise solid, polymeric resin substrates to which there is fixed a compound of the formula: ##STR1## wherein R is alkyl of 12 to 18 carbon atoms, inclusive, R 1 is lower alkyl and A is the negative ion of a soluble salt of heparin. The articles advantageously exhibit low toxicity and excellent blood compatibility when used for purposes which bring them into contact with whole blood for prolonged periods of time.

Claim 1
Independent Claim
203 words
A blood compatibility determination method which comprises providing a test material in the form of a hollow tube having first and second open ends and a length exceeding the length of a cannula hereinafter described; providing said cannula of a size and dimension to receive in its bore in a close fitting relationship said tube, said cannula having first and second ends and a bore communicating between said first and second cannula ends; inserting the first end of said cannula into the blood vessel of a living mammal; inserting the first end of said tube into the second end of said cannula, through said bore and beyond said first end of said cannula, whereby the first end of said tube is positioned in said blood vessel while leaving the second open end of the tube outside of the mammal's body, whereby blood flows from said blood vessel, through said first end of said tube, through said tube and out of the open second end of said tube without contacting any solid surface other than the surface of said tube; and measuring the time period between the initial flow of blood out of the second end of said tube to cessation of said flow.
