“…Central venous catheters (CVCs), among other blood-contacting catheters, hold significant importance in the management of cardiovascular disease and cancer. − Typically, materials such as silicone rubber (SR), thermoplastic polyurethane, and polyurethane are employed in the construction of CVCs. ,− These materials are preferred due to their exceptional biocompatibility, resistance to high temperatures, and corrosion resistance. ,− Nevertheless, protein, bacterial, and platelet adhesion in the bloodstream can lead to thrombosis and bacterial infections. ,, These issues mainly arise from the catheter’s inappropriate wettability and the lack of antimicrobial properties. , These challenges can significantly burden patients, potentially leading to treatment failure or even mortality. ,, A common clinical strategy for the treatment of infection and thrombosis is to give antibiotics and intravenous heparin (Hep) immediately before or after catheter implantation, which often faces problems such as the development of resistant organisms and thrombocytopenia due to excess Hep . Consequently, the development of antibacterial and anticoagulant catheters remains a formidable undertaking.…”
