Abstract/OtherAbstract:
Titanium nitride (TiN) is regarded as a potential biomaterial for blood-contact applications. Its in vitro haemocompatibility has been evaluated already and gave promising results. The purpose of this study was to continue studying its 'biological' behaviour through an ex vivo evaluation. The material was a physical vapour deposition elaborated TiN coating and the phenomena observed were leucocyte adhesion and albumin and fibrinogen adsorption. These ex vivo results were compared with in vitro results obtained previously. Two reference medical grade silicone elastomer and three TiN arterio-arterial extra-corporeal circuits were tested. No leucocyte was retained by TiN, as in in vitro experiments; the ex vivo fibrinogen adsorbed quantity was higher and albumin adsorption was about the same in in vitro and in ex vivo situations. TiN can be considered as a suitable blood-contacting material.
