چکیده
New medical products, materials and surgical procedures keep improving current health-care practices. Many of these innovations involve polymeric devices that must meet certain clinical and cost requirements. Chief among these pressures is the need for biocompatibility between the physiological environment and the biomaterial surface. Plasma surface modification can improve biocompatibility and biofunctionality. This article reviews the capabilities and applications of the technology.
