Abstract:
1. A medical device including a hydrophilic surface comprising: (a) a medical device made from a device forming material comprising monomeric units having reactive functionalities selected from the group consisting of azlactone, carboxylic acid, amine, hydroxy, and epoxy functionalities, and compatible combinations thereof; and (b) a hydrophilic reactive polymers made from a hydrophilic reactive polymer forming material having hydrophilic monomeric units derived from monomers selected from the group consisting of acrylamides, lactams, poly(alkyleneoxy)methacrylates, methacrylic acid, hydroxyalkyl methacrylates and mixtures thereof, wherein the hydrophilic monomeric units have a reactive functionality selected from the group consisting of hydroxy, amine, carboxylic acid and ring opening reactive functionalities and combinations thereof that is complementary to the reactive functionality of the device forming material;
