This manuscript is a review of the preclinical and early clinical findings related to a unique fluorinated polyphosphazene nanolayer device surface modification. Polyzene-F (PzF) is a novel, high-molecular weight, highly pure polyphosphazene that was designed to enhance the biologic interface between a medical device surface and human tissue or blood. The polymer also has unique mechanical properties that for the first time allow implants to be paved with a coating that has a nanoscale thickness of < 50 nm. The coating has inherent thrombus resistant properties and takes on biomimetic properties soon after implant due to favorable protein adhesion. Over the last 1.5 decades, PzF has undergone extensive preclinical testing including benchtop endothelial cell migration and platelet adhesion studies followed by increasingly sophisticated evaluation in 16 different animal models. The coating consistently has shown reduced platelet adhesion, decreased clotting, reduced inflammation, and accelerated healing compared with different surfaces as well as uncoated controls. These preclinical findings have translated into early compelling clinical evidence that suggest enhanced healing and reduced thrombosis can be achieved with a PzF-coated implant. There are now two PzF nanocoated products approved by the US Food and Drug Association (FDA), embolic spheres, and a coronary stent. This is the first detailed overview of the history, preclinical findings, and current clinical results attributed to the PzF coating with emphasis on the coronary stent Cobra-PzF. Lay Summary Over the last few decades, we have seen remarkable advances in medical technology including the development of less invasive surgical alternatives for the treatment of heart and vascular disease. One of the key advances in treating or preventing heart attack, stroke, and limb loss has been the development of stents. Stents are small, metallic, mesh-like devices that can be expanded within blocked vessels via small catheters placed through the groin or wrist. These stents provide structural support while the vessel heals. One of the challenges with stents and other permanent device implants is related to how our bodies react to foreign
