When a patient's blood flows through catheters, stents or other medical devices, there's always a risk that harmful clots may form. An experimental new bio-inspired coating could keep that from happening,

The researchers are also examining the potential for this coating to mitigate other blood-related complications such as inflammation or infection, particularly in long-term medica

University of B.C. researchers have developed a coating that could make medical devices safer for millions of patients, reducing the risks associated with blood clots and dangerous bleeding. The work has been published in Nature Materials.

A new blood vessel-like coating could make medical devices including catheters and stents safer for millions of patients, according to new research. The innovative material reduces risks associated with blood clots and dangerous bleeding,
