| titleOfInvention | Methods of enhancing the biocompatibility of an implantable medi cal device |
| abstract | In one aspect, the invention provides methods for enhancing the biocompatibility of a medical device implanted within a portion of a living body. The methods comprise the step of contacting the portion of a living body that is in contact with an implanted medical device with an amount of a monocyte chemoattractant protein antagonist effective to inhibit chronic inflammation at the site of implantation or encapsulation of the device. In another aspect, the invention provides implantable medical devices comprising: (a) a device body, and (b) a surface layer attached to the device body, said surface layer comprising an amount of an antagonist of monocyte chemoattractant protein antagonist sufficient to reduce a foreign body response against the device, wherein the device is adapted to be implanted within a portion of a living body. |
