ABSTRACT:
A polyorganosiloxane composition having a biocompatible surface thereon is disclosed. The biocompatible surface results from the derivatization, or amination, of the surface intended for cell contact. More specifically, the present invention is a polyorganosiloxane composition in which the surface is either treated with a primary amine and optional peptide or the surface is cocured with a primary amine-containing silane or siloxane. The aminated polyorganosiloxane has utility as a cell culture substrate or in a variety of artificial organ applications such as breast implants, synthetic blood vessels, joints, tendons and heart valves. A vacuum apparatus for use with specialized cell culture plates incorporating the biocompatible polyorganosiloxane composition is also disclosed.
