Abstract
Abstract Bio- and blood compatible materials are prepared by treating the surface of a substrate to provide reactive primary or secondary amine groups sites which are activated by treatment with a dialdehyde or arylchloride for coupling to a biological in an amount sufficient to provide compatibility. The use of specific substrates, such as a compliant, and elastic material, such as a fabric-elastomer membrane matrix, results in a product having advantageous qualities as a thermal burn dressing, breast prostheses and implants. Detailed procedures and various products are described.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 11
Claim 1
Independent Claim
153 words
An implantable breast prosthesis comprising: a three dimensional member having an outer surface at least a portion of which is adapted to be in contact with tissue and the like in a host recipient, at least said portion of said member having functional groups extending therefrom, said functional group being selected from the group consisting of primary and secondary amino groups, said amino groups having attached thereto a reactive group selected from the group consisting of aldehyde and aryl-halide groups, a biological having functional groups selected from the group consisting of primary and secondary amino groups and hydroxyl groups being coupled to said portion of said member through reaction between the functional groups of said biological and the aldehyde or aryl-halide groups attached to said primary or secondary amino groups which extend from said portion of said member, and said biological operating to provide bio- and blood compatible qualities to said surface portion.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
153 words
An implantable breast prosthesis comprising: a three dimensional member having an outer surface at least a portion of which is adapted to be in contact with tissue and the like in a host recipient, at least said portion of said member having functional groups extending therefrom, said functional group being selected from the group consisting of primary and secondary amino groups, said amino groups having attached thereto a reactive group selected from the group consisting of aldehyde and aryl-halide groups, a biological having functional groups selected from the group consisting of primary and secondary amino groups and hydroxyl groups being coupled to said portion of said member through reaction between the functional groups of said biological and the aldehyde or aryl-halide groups attached to said primary or secondary amino groups which extend from said portion of said member, and said biological operating to provide bio- and blood compatible qualities to said surface portion.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
13 words
