In vivo thrombosis assessment on catheter surfaces in a 7-day rabbit model. (A) Representative images of catheters of PU control, X-OFP, and TFE coatings after explantation. The jugular vein was cut longitudinally to show thrombus formation on the interior of the vessel (highlighted region), (B) Quantitative analysis of total clot area formed on the internal jugular vein for catheters (N=3, actual power value = 0.95)
