Abstract
The disclosure is of a method to improve the antithrombogenicity which results when heparin is attached to a polymeric surface. The polymeric surface is activated by treatment with a plasma. The surface thus activated is rendered receptive to the binding of a surface active agent. The surface active agent in turn reacts with heparin to provide a polymeric surface of exceptional antithrombogenicity when contacted with blood for an extended period of time.
