Patent ID: 7927620

Claim:
A medical device comprising: (1) a substrate; and (2) a first layer that comprises (a) an antifouling copolymer which comprises (i) an antifouling polymer block that comprises multiple pendant alkoxy functional groups and (ii) a first additional polymer block that is different from the antifouling polymer block and is selected from a biostable polymer block, a biodegradable polyester block, a biodegradable poly(ortho ester) block, a biodegradable polyanhydride block and a biodegradable tyrosine-based polymer block and (b) an adhesive copolymer which comprises (i) an adhesive polymer block and (ii) a second additional polymer block that is different from the adhesive polymer block and has a monomer content that is the same as that of the first additional polymer block, wherein said antifouling copolymer and said adhesive copolymer are different.
