New medical products, materials and surgical procedures keep improving current health-care practices. Many of these innovations involve polymeric devices that must meet certain clinical and cost requirements. Chief among these pressures is the need for biocompatibility between the physiological environment and the biomaterial surface. Plasma surface modification can improve biocompatibility and biofunctionality. This article reviews the capabilities and applications of the technology.
新型医疗产品、材料和外科手术不断改进当前的医疗保健实践。其中许多创新涉及必须满足某些临床和成本要求的聚合物装置。这些压力中最主要的是生理环境与生物材料表面之间需要生物相容性。等离子体表面改性可以改善生物相容性和生物功能性。本文综述了该技术的能力和应用。
