Published: September 1988

The use of phosphorylcholine (PC) containing compounds as possible biomaterials has been evaluated by material thrombelastography (MTEG). The detailed analysis of the MTEG technique is discussed. A remarkable reduction of thrombogenicity by compounds containing the PC group is demonstrated. The results observed with a polymerised PC-lipid indicate potential use of such substances as biomaterials with minimal thrombogenicity.
