Abstract: There is provided herein a method of coating a polyurethane surface of an insertable medical device, the method comprising obtaining an insertable medical device or a part thereof comprising a polyurethane surface; performing a direct thiolization of the polyurethane surface to produce thiolated polyurethane surface comprising free thiol groups, the direct thiolization comprises a direct reaction between a secondary amine of the polyurethane surface and ethylene sulphide (ES) to form a covalent bond between the amine and the free thiol group; and reacting the thiolated polyurethane surface with a therapeutic/antithrombogenic compound having a vinyl/methacrylate functional group through thiol-ene click reaction, to produce an insertable medical device coated with a therapeutic/antithrombogenic and abrasion (delamination)-resistant coating.

Abstract: The present invention provides a rapid and highly efficient process for treating textile threads, especially dyeing, and treated threads obtained thereby of textile threads.
