The invention features a method of treating polyester material to generate functional carboxylic acid and amine groups. These functional groups can be used as sites for covalent bond formation to attach chemical or biological moieties. This bifunctionalized polyester polymer can be used in any medical application in which biocompatible polymers are used.

Bifunctionalized polyester material for surface treatment and biomodification

Provided is a biocompatible device which has been coated or sealed with a polyether or polyether/carbonate based urethane polymer that contains functional groups (e.g. carboxylic acid groups) which are capable of serving as anchor sites for protein binding.

Polyurethane-sealed biocompatible device and method for its preparation

The present invention provides a method for making an infection-resistant fabricated textile article which is suitable for any in-vivo usage either as a topical bandage, on an implantable configured construct, or as part of a prosthetic mechanical appliance. The method of manufacture applies broadly to any and all fabrics, cloths, gauzes, and/or films comprised in whole or in part of fibers; and provides an infection-resistant textile of valued use in a wide range and variety of medical applications.
