title: [Review of heparin immobilization technique].
abstract: Immobilization of heparin onto the surfaces of biomaterials is an effective approach for improving their anticoagulant properties and biocompatibility. In this article are reviewed the relevant principle, experimental researches and applications. Finally, a prospect for heparin immobilization is made as well.
