Disclosed is a biocompatible, thromboresistant substance useful for implantable and extracorporeal devices in contact with the vascular system, and methods for producing the same. The thromboresistant substance comprises a synthetic, biocompatible material, at least one biocompatible base coat layer adhered to at least one surface of the material, and a thrombogenesis inhibitor other than hiruden or a fragment or analog thereof, immobilized on the base coat layer via a component capable of binding the inhibitor. The bound thrombogenesis inhibitor retains its biological activity. |
