Platelet deposition on other commonly used blood-contacting materials. (A) Scanning electron micrographs of blood-contacted polycarbonate (PCB), polyvinylchloride (PVC) and the SBNHSi modified surfaces. (B) Platelet deposition as determined by a lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) assay after contact with citrated ovine whole blood for 2 h at 37°C (*P<0.01 vs. PCB-H and PVC-H controls).
