Abstract

Abstract Disclosed is an anticoagulant material comprising a polymer obtained from an ionically bonded composite synthesized from i) a basic compound having a copolymerizable functional group and ii) a heparin salt. Disclosed is also a process for preparing the anticoagulant material. The anticoagulant material of the present invention can maintain excellent anticoagulant properties or antithrombotic properties over a long period of time and is capable of being applied as a component material for various medical articles such as artificial internal organs and artificial blood vessels, and a process for preparing it.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 13
Claim 1
Independent Claim 118 words
An anti-thrombotic material comprising a heparin carrying polymer formed by reacting (i) a basic monomer having a copolymerizable functional group and a functional group being capable of undergoing ionic bonding to a heparin salt; with (ii) a heparin salt, to form an ionically bonded composite with copolymerizable functional groups; and thereafter homopolymerizing the copolymerizable functional group on the ionically bonded composite or copolymerizing the same group with at least one of a hydrophilic monomer rand a hydrophobic monomer and, optionally, a cross-linking agent to form the heparin carrying polymer; and wherein the ionic bonding in said ionically bonded composite is effected in substantially ion equivalent weight and the heparin salt is not released substantially at a physiological temperature.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 118 words
An anti-thrombotic material comprising a heparin carrying polymer formed by reacting (i) a basic monomer having a copolymerizable functional group and a functional group being capable of undergoing ionic bonding to a heparin salt; with (ii) a heparin salt, to form an ionically bonded composite with copolymerizable functional groups; and thereafter homopolymerizing the copolymerizable functional group on the ionically bonded composite or copolymerizing the same group with at least one of a hydrophilic monomer rand a hydrophobic monomer and, optionally, a cross-linking agent to form the heparin carrying polymer; and wherein the ionic bonding in said ionically bonded composite is effected in substantially ion equivalent weight and the heparin salt is not released substantially at a physiological temperature.
