Abstract:
1. A method for the preparation of a medical device element, said method comprising the steps of: (i) providing a prefabricated shaped article and/or a thermoplastic substrate polymer; (ii) providing a coating composition having, in the absence of ethylenically unsaturated functionality: (iii) extruding, injection moulding or powder coating the coating composition of step (ii) on the prefabricated shaped article and/or the thermoplastic substrate polymer of step (i) so as to provide the medical device element of said prefabricated shaped article and/or said substrate polymer having thereon a layer of said coating composition, wherein, when both of said prefabricated shaped article and said substrate polymer are present, said prefabricated shaped article has thereon a layer of said substrate polymer; and (iv) irradiating the coating composition with UV or visible light so as to covalently cross-link said coating composition.
