Abstract

Abstract The present invention is directed to multifunctional thrombo-resistant coatings for use with biomedical devices and implants, such as a coating which includes a siloxane surface onto which a plurality of amine functional groups have been bonded. Covalently bonded to the amine functional groups are a plurality of poly(ethylene oxide) chains, such that a single poly(ethylene oxide) chain is bonded to a single amine functional group. A plurality of different bioactive molecules, designed to counteract specific blood-material incompatibility reactions, are covalently bonded to poly(ethylene oxide) chains, such that a single bioactive molecule is coupled to a single polyethylene oxide chain. The method of manufacturing the present invention include preparing a material having a siloxane surface onto which a plurality of amine functional groups have been bonded. This is achieved by plasma etching with ammonia gas or by plasma polymerization of a siloxane monomer in the presence of ammonia gas. The amine-containing siloxane surface is reacted with poly(ethylene oxide) chains terminated with functional groups capable of reacting with the amine groups on the siloxane surface. The material is then reacted with a plurality of different bioactive molecules which counteract the specific blood-material incompatibility reactions, such that a single bioactive molecule is coupled to a single poly(ethylene oxide) chain. The resulting siloxane surface contains a plurality of different bioactive molecules capable of reacting with blood components which come in proximity to the siloxane surface in order to resist blood-material incompatibility reactions.
