Abstract
Abstract Articles comprised of bioactive agents coupled to or repelled by a graft polymer (made, for example, from monomers such as N-(3-aminopropyl) methacrylamide hydrochloride (APMA), 2-acrylamido-2-methylpropane sulfonic acid (AMPS), acrylamide (AAm), and acrylic acid (AA)) which is in turn bonded to a polymeric substrate surface. The articles are useful as thromboresistant and/or antimicrobial medical devices.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 11
Claim 1
Independent Claim
142 words
An article for use in contact with blood or blood products, the article including at least one polymer surface for contacting blood or blood products, the polymeric surface having thereon a graft copolymer and a bioactive agent, the graft copolymer grafted onto the polymeric surface by polymerization of first and second vinyl monomers, the first monomer including pendant groups selected from the group consisting of amine groups and add groups, said pendant groups imparting to the graft polymer a net (-) or (+) ionic charge and a neutral, hydrophilic monomer as the second monomer, the bioactive agent selected from the group consisting of antibiotics, antimicrobials, anticoagulants and albumin-binding dyes having a net (+) or (-) ionic charge, the bioactive agent on the graft polymer such that the bioactive agent retained on or repelled from the graft polymer by ionic attraction or repulsion,
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
