CBAS® is a long-term, essentially non-leaching heparin coating that actively prevents platelet adhesion and thrombus formation on surfaces.
|
Significant reductions in thrombus formation compared to uncoated products have been proven for several applications such as vascular grafts, intravascular catheters, and ventricular assist devices.
CBAS has been shown to be a highly robust coating, able to withstand aggressive fluid flow, device handling, and flexure. |

The gentle coating process uses aqueous solutions at mild pH and moderate temperatures, which preserves the physical properties of the device.
