Problems in the development of materials that are compatible with blood.
A comprehensive outlook of blood-material interaction is presented with an emphasis on the activation of clotting and platelet adhesion via fibrinogen at the interface. Further limitations and suggestions of interrelating the invitro investigations to invivo conditions are discussed.
