  • Anti-inflammatory coatings to improve biocompatibility of neurological implants
    Patent number: 11318231
    Abstract: Neurological implants whose surfaces have been chemically and covalently modified to impart beneficial properties to the neurological implants are described. The neurological implants possess improved biocompatibility compared to a corresponding neurological implant that lacks the chemical modification. Following implantation in a subject, the surface-modified neurological implants induce a lower-foreign body response, compared to a corresponding unmodified product.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: November 6, 2018
