Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2018029166A1] A method for producing desired morphology of a nanotubular matrix, in particular titanium dioxide containing matrix, is disclosed which reduces adhesion and activation of platelets on medical devices. Surfaces produced by the method of invention can be used for blood contacting devices, such as stents and artificial heart valves in order to reduce thrombus reactions on the implant material surface.
