Abstract
A study has been made of the behaviour of knitted and woven Dacron mesh used in the preparation of vascular grafts when coated with either a layer of poly(2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate) or co-polymers of 2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate with 5, 10 or 20 wt% of an acrylic derivative of salicylic acid, 2-methacryloyloxybenzoic acid. In vitro studies were carried out to quantify the loss of polymer under flow conditions, and ex vivo studies were done in dogs to quantify the deposition of 111ln-oxinelabelled platelets. The treated materials showed a lesser deposition of platelet thrombi when compared with the control group. Biomaterials (1994) 15, (10) 759–765
