BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the invention This invention relates to biomedical articles that resist the clotting of human blood and generally that of warm blooded animals. It describes the structure of these-articles and the various modes of their manufacture. One of such articles is a subdermal implant. Examples are subdermal prosthesis such as artificial blood vessels to correct atherosclerotic shrunken passage- 1 ways or to eliminate aneurisms in cardiac assist devices .and in artifical hearts and heart valves to replace or augment the function of the natural heart. Other subdermal prosthetic devices of this invention include reinforced and non reinforced sheetings, rubbers to reconstruct fractures, coronary arteries, denture soft liners, denture base materials, sponge subdermal implant materials, mammary prosthesis, testicular prosthesis, atoplasty prosthesis, rhinoplasty implants, scleral buckler drains, catheters for intravenous administration of flu ids for withdrawal of serial blood samples, for percuta' neous flow-guided cardia catheterization, continuous monitoring of blood glucose, intestinal decompression tubes, various catheters and thoriac drains. Other implanted articles of this invention include circulatory assist devices, tubes for blood transfusion, the implants of electrical devices and mechanical devices such as prosthetic valves and sutures. Other biomedical articles of this invention include thromboresistant surgical instru- 'rnents, laboratory apparatus used for blood handling and blood handling and blood containers for storage.
2. Description of the Prior Art One of the most striking property of blood is its tendency to undergo clotting, or thrombosis. This has been the major problem encountered in the use of subdennal prosthesis.
The detailed mechanisme of thrombosis is still not established. Its normal course involves a series of com-' plex reactions that, once initiated result in the formation of thrombosis. Two processes may occur:
1. The absorption of proteins leading to coagulation;
,thrombogenic and therefore require the use by the patient of anticoagulant drugs such as heparin and coumarin derivatives.
,Various organic polymers'havebeen coated recently with heparin. Although this material displays some degree of thromboresistance, the coating eventually washes away with the flow of blood and it is difficult to fabricate. i
There have been attempts to obtain thromboresistant biomedical articles from fluorinated polymers and sulfonated polymers. However, none of them are performing in a satisfactory manner. This is due, in the opinion of the author of the present invention, to the disposition, the length and the relative lengths of the various groups in the polymer.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION.
My invention provides,thromboresistant biomedical articles useful in the fields of subdermal implants, surgical instruments, laboratory apparatus and blood containers. These articles are composed, at least on their surface, of an organic polymeric material having side chains of the formula C,,F ,C,,,l-l ,wherein n and m are integers, n ranging from 1 to 28 and the sum of n and m from 1 to 28, and an anionic group.
DESCRIPTION or THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT The biomedical articles of this invention are characterized by their thromboresistant surface. The surface of the said articles are characterized by an organic polymeric material having fluoroalkyl side chains of the nF2nJ-l m 2m and m are integers, the range of )1 extending from 1 to 28 and the sum of n and in from 2 to 28. Thenurnberof fluoroalkyl side chains relative to the number of main-chain-atoms in one recurring unit ranges from 1:2 to lzlQ preferably from 1:2 to 1:5.The atoms that arch the main or linear direction of the polymer such as the carbon atoms in polyethylene and poly vinyl alcohol), are the only ones considered main-chain-atoms. Linear fluoroalkyl side chains with values of the integer rt ranging from 8 to 28 are particularly effective ones to give the articles of this invention a high degree of thromboresistance.
The presence of another, generally shorter side chain, which is an anion or one comprising an anion, generally enhances the 'thromboresistivity of the polymer. However, its presence is required only in the cases wherein the said fluoroalkyl side chain is branched (non linear) and in cases wherein the value of the integer n ranges from 1 to 7. i
A feature of the 'said organic polymeric materials of I this invention is thattheir thromboresistant character.
invcntion'have simultaneously low surface tension and negative zeta potential, properties thought necessary for thromboresistance according to certain theories.
The invention is described hereinafter in. greater detail by reference to the examples which show preferred embodiments of the invention. It should be understood however that the examples hereinafter given are for the purposes of illustration only and that the invention in its broader aspects is not limited thereto.
Examples of the said tluorinated side chains are 3( 2)1 CF3(CF2)11(CH2)16 1 a 2)22 2 4 9( 2)10."- H2)2 a 1' The anionic groups can be either in their acidic form, their salt or their partially neutralized form. Example of 3 simple anionic groups are carboxylate, sulfonate, sulfate, phosphate and phosphites. Examples of the salt forming positive ions are sodium, potassium, lithium, ammonium, magnesium, tertiary amines such as N- methylmorpholine.
The ratio of the number of the said fluoroalkyl groups to the number of said anionic groups ranges from 0.511 to 50:1, preferably from 1:1 to 20:1. ln general, this ratio decreases as the ionic strength decreases. The number, strength and degree of neutralization of said anionic groups should be limited in order to avoid solvation or excessive swelling of the fluorinated polymer by the blood.
The said fluoroalkyl side chain may be directly attached to the main chain of the organic polymer. It can also be attached by an intermediate divalent radical,
such as --O, CO, SO, SO SO NH.-, CH O, COO-, NHCO, NH- COO, NHCONH-, POCH POC H SO NCH SO NC l-l Similarly, the anionic group may be directly attached to the main chain of the organic polymer or through an intermediate divalent radical. Such radicals are exemplified by CH C H OC H (CH )s 2 2H43( 2)i5 Biomedical articles of this invention may be entirely composed of the said organic polymeric materialswith the fluoroalkyl side chains. However, the particular mechanical and electrical properties required of the various biomedical articles, or the higher cost involved may require them to comprise a surface portion and a substrate portion.
