Hemocompatibility assessment of coated surfaces. Neither uncoated, nor fibronectin or hpcECM-gel induced blood clot formation compared to a glass positive control. The images represent respective graft pieces with attached blood clots after incubation time. No significant increase in thrombus formation for any of the observed groups (A). None of the substrates induced hemolysis (B) or increased platelet adhesion (C). n ​= ​6, scale bars: Positive control: 7 ​mm; non-coated, fibronectin and hpcECM-gel: 4 ​mm.
