This study describes a method for the modification of polyurethane small-diameter (5 mm) vascular prostheses obtained with the phase inversion method. The modification process involves two steps: the introduction of a linker (acrylic acid) and a peptide (REDV and YIGSR). FTIR and XPS analysis confirmed the process of chemical modification. The obtained prostheses had a porosity of approx. 60%, Young's Modulus in the range of 9-11 MPa, and a water contact angle around 40°. Endothelial (EC) and smooth muscle (SMC) cell co-culture showed that the surfaces modified with peptides increase the adhesion of ECs. At the same time, SMCs adhesion was low both on unmodified and peptide-modified surfaces. Analysis of blood-materials interaction showed high hemocompatibility of obtained materials. The whole blood clotting time assay showed differences in the amount of free hemoglobin present in blood contacted with different materials. It can be concluded that the peptide coating increased the hemocompatibility of the surface by increasing ECs adhesion and, at the same time, decreasing platelet adhesion. When comparing both types of peptide coatings, more promising results were obtained for the surfaces coated with the YISGR than REDV-coated prostheses.

D008422 Materials Testing The testing of materials and devices, especially those used for PROSTHESES AND IMPLANTS; SUTURES; TISSUE ADHESIVES; etc., for hardness, strength, durability, safety, efficacy, and biocompatibility. Biocompatibility Testing,Biocompatible Materials Testing,Hemocompatibility Testing,Testing, Biocompatible Materials,Testing, Hemocompatible Materials,Hemocompatibility Testings,Hemocompatible Materials Testing,Materials Testing, Biocompatible,Materials Testing, Hemocompatible,Testing, Biocompatibility,Testing, Hemocompatibility,Testing, Materials,Testings, Biocompatibility
D008855 Microscopy, Electron, Scanning Microscopy in which the object is examined directly by an electron beam scanning the specimen point-by-point. The image is constructed by detecting the products of specimen interactions that are projected above the plane of the sample, such as backscattered electrons. Although SCANNING TRANSMISSION ELECTRON MICROSCOPY also scans the specimen point by point with the electron beam, the image is constructed by detecting the electrons, or their interaction products that are transmitted through the sample plane, so that is a form of TRANSMISSION ELECTRON MICROSCOPY.
