Summary 

									
								

							

						

						
Due to the development of MDM coating using high-polymer polymers, we investigated its antithrombotic effect. Fresh blood was filled into both the MDM group, where MDM was coated on a mini artificial lung, and the non-coating group, and the platelet count before and after circulation was measured. The platelet count significantly decreased in the non-coating group compared to the MDM group. After the experiment, observation with a scanning electron microscope showed almost no platelet adhesion in the MDM group. It was orally presented that MDM coating had excellent antithrombotic properties.
Personal Contribution: I was responsible for the research planning, data collection and analysis, and the preparation of the abstract and slides.
