Photografted Dual-Network Zwitterionic Hydrogel Coatings for Biomaterials

Reduction of foreign body response and fibrotic capsule formation with implanted biomaterials can significantly improve the lifetime and function of medical devices, including those that deliver electrical stimulation such as cochlear implants. Zwitterionic hydrogels resist biofouling but may lack the mechanical stre...
