The present invention relates to substrates comprising a surface to which a compound is immobilised, methods for immobilising said compounds to substrates and devices, particularly medical devices, comprising said substrates. Compounds may include antimicrobial and/or anti-inflammatory compounds wherein substrates may be used to coat devices prone to bacterial colonisation, including implantable medical devices such as replacement joints, urinary catheters, percutaneous access catheters, stents, as well as non-implantable devices such as contact lenses and masks and apparatus for breathing medical air or oxygen. The present invention, further, extends to compounds suitable for use in preparing such substrates.
