Hemocompatibility

Hemocompatibility refers to how well a material or device interacts with blood without causing adverse reactions. It means the material doesn’t trigger blood clotting, inflammation, or damage to blood cells when in contact with blood. This is essential for medical devices like implants, blood filters, or artificial organs, ensuring they function safely and effectively within the body. Hemocompatibility testing helps verify that these materials won’t harm the blood or surrounding tissues, promoting better patient outcomes and reducing complications related to blood compatibility issues.
