An inhibitor of FXII/FXIIa for the prevention of the formation and/or stabilization of thrombi during and/or after a medical procedure performed on a human or animal subject comprising contacting blood of said human or animal subject with artificial surfaces, wherein said inhibitor of FXII/FXIIa is administered before and/or during and/or after said medical procedure.

Disclosed is a high anticoagulation ECMO and extracorporeal circulation consumable, which include the following preparation methods: S1, aminating the surface of ECMO blood circulation device and extracorporeal circulation consumables; S2, activating heparin groups; S3, heparinizing the ECMO blood circulation device and extracorporeal circulation consumables; S4, modification of enhancer. The application can produce a novel high anticoagulation extracorporeal circulation tube with low price and high biocompatibility, which expands the application in clinic.

In an example of a method for making an NO-releasing polymeric composition, a discrete RSNO adduct is dissolved in a solvent to form a discrete RSNO adduct solution. A polymer material is soaked in the discrete RSNO adduct solution for a predetermined time to swell the polymer material and impregnate the polymer material with the discrete RSNO adduct.

An antithrombotic surface-modified biomaterial is provided comprising a biomaterial substrate coated with a polymerizable dopamine-containing bioadhesive to which is attached one or more antithrombotic agents. A method of preparing the surface-modified biomaterial is also provided. The surface-modified biomaterial is beneficial for use in blood-contacting medical devices such as catheters, dialyzers and blood oxygenators to prevent or minimize the occurrence of thrombosis on the surface thereof.
