TI  - Blood interactions with plasticized poly(vinyl chloride): relevance of 
      plasticizer selection.
PG  - 527-31
AB  - An investigation has been made of blood interactions with plasticized poly(vinyl 
      chloride) (PVC) biomaterials in tubular form, taking into account the influence 
      on the blood response of the polymer, antithrombotic agent, blood condition and 
      test procedure. In vitro and ex vivo procedures were used to achieve a comparison 
      between PVC plasticized with di- (2-ethylhexyl)phthalate (DEHP) and with 
      tri-(2-ethylhexyl)trimellitate (TEHTM). The blood response was monitored in terms 
      of the measurement of fibrinogen adsorption capacity, thrombin-antithrombin III 
      complex (TAT) and the complement component C3a. Surface characterization of the 
      polymers was performed by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). The data 
      obtained indicate that in comparison with DEHP-PVC, there is a higher reactivity 
      for TEHTM-PVC, which correlates with the plasticizer distribution at the polymer 
      surface.
