Why the study?
Does titanium alloy T16A14V coated with Diamond-like Carbon improve in vitro hemocompatibility compared to a silicone elastomer reference?
Does titanium alloy T16A14V coated with Diamond-like Carbon improve in vitro hemocompatibility compared to a silicone elastomer reference?
Diamond-like carbon coating on titanium alloy demonstrated promising in vitro hemocompatibility for prosthetic heart valves, warranting further investigation.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
May warrant further hemocompatibility testing of DLC-coated titanium; leaves open translation to reduced thrombosis risk in prosthetic valves.
Dion et al. (1993) studied this question.
