BIOINSPIRED SUPER-HYDROPHILIC ZWITTERIONIC POLYMER ARMOR COMBATS THROMBOSIS AND INFECTION OF VASCULAR CATHETERS

Bioinspired super-hydrophilic zwitterionic polymer armor combats thrombosis and infection of vascular catheters

Thrombosis and infection are two major complications associated with central venous catheters (CVCs), which significantly contribute to morbidity and mortality.Antifouling coating strategies currently represent an efficient approach for addressing such 15-eg2373cl complications.However, existing antifouling coatings have limitations in terms of bot
