Abstract: According to the invention there is provided inter alia a process for the manufacture of a solid object having a surface comprising a layered coating of cationic and anionic polymer wherein the outer coating layer comprises an anticoagulant entity, comprising the steps of: i) treating a surface of the solid object with a cationic polymer; ii) treating the surface with an anionic polymer; iii) optionally repeating steps i) and ii) one or more times; iv) treating the surface with a cationic polymer; and v) treating the outermost layer of cationic polymer with an anticoagulant entity, thereby to covalently attach the anticoagulant entity to the outermost layer of cationic polymer; wherein, the anionic polymer is characterized by having (a) a total molecular weight of 650 kDa-10,000 kDa; and (b) a solution charge density of >4 ?eq/g; and wherein, step ii) is carried out at a salt concentration of 0.25 M-5.0 M.

Abstract: There is provided inter alia a solid object having a surface comprising a layered coating of cationic and anionic polymer, wherein the outer coating layer is a layer comprising cationic polymer to which is covalently bound an anticoagulant entity; and wherein the anionic polymer is characterized by having (a) a total molecular weight of 20 kDa-650 kDa; and (b) a solution charge density of ?4 ?eq/g.
