A coating for a medical device, the device generally being of the type which is to be used internally in a subject, includes a transglutaminase (TGase) inhibitor. The Tgase inhibitor effectively prevents the activity of any Tgase involved in clot formation or clot stability. Preferably, the transglutaminase inhibitor is a factor XIIIa inhibitor. The coating may be prepared by suitable processes such as esterification. The coating may be immobilized on a suitable medical device in a number of ways and is preferably included in a TGase inhibitor containing polymer. The coating may also include a suitable antimicrobial agent.
一种医疗设备的涂层,该设备通常是用于在体内使用的类型,包括一种转谷
氨酰胺酶(TGase)
抑制剂。TGase
抑制剂有效地防止了任何参与凝血形成或凝血稳定的TGase的活性。最好的情况是,转谷
氨酰胺酶
抑制剂是因子XIIIa
