Open the CIPO recordAbstract From the Canadian patent
of the Invention, Polymer-coated medical and laboratory devices are disclosed which are characterized by their biocompatibility and resistance to nonspecific protein adsorption. The polyurea-polyurethane coatings of this invention are prepared from high molecular weight isocyanate end-capped prepolymers substantially or exclusively comprised of ethylene oxide units. At least 75%, preferably at least 90%, of the prepolymer units are oxyethylene-based diols or polyols having molecular weights of about 7000-30,000 with, essentially all of the hydroxyl groups capped with polyisocyanate prior to formation of the hydrated polymer coating.

Why it's free to use
- Filed February 21, 1992. No grant is recorded for it in Canada; had it been granted, its 20-year term would have ended February 21, 2012.
- A certificate of supplementary protection adds at most two years for a drug, so even that would have ended by February 21, 2014.
- We check Canadian rights only. A patent in its family in another country could still be in force: check its family on Google Patents.
