Abstract

Although Glassy Polymeric Carbon (GPC) is ideally suited for implants in the blood stream, tissue that normally forms around the moving parts of a GPC heart valve. There is concern that the tissue lose adhesion and create the condition for embolisms downstream. We have shown that silver ion implantation or argon ion assisted surface deposition of silver inhibits cell growth on GPC, a desirable improvement of current cardiac implants. In vitro biocompatibility tests have been carried out with model cell lines to demonstrate that near surface implantation of silver in GPC can completely inhibit cell attachment on implanted areas while leaving adjacent areas unaffected. Patterned ion implantation permits precise control of tissue growth on medical applications of GPC.
