Abstract

Background: The aim of the research was the evaluation of plasmatic protein adsorption on untreated polybutylene terephthalate, corona treated polybutylene terephthalate and polyvinylacetate coated corona treated polybutylene terephthalate.

Methods: Total proteins, albumin, immunoglobulins, fibrinogen, insulin and ostecalcin were determined on plasma after contact with these polymers.

Results: Unsignificant variations were observed for the assayed proteins.

Conclusions: The conclusions are drawn that the tested materials do not adsorbe significantly the most important plasmatic proteins.
