METHOD OF MAKING THROMBORESISTANT/BACTERICIDAL S-NITROSO-N-ACETYLPENICILLAMINE (SNAP)-IMPREGNATED NITRIC OXIDE RELEASE POLYMERS WITH ENHANCED STABILITY
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.
