Enhancing Mucus Flow and Clearance by Grafting Zwitterionic Hydrogel Films to Luminal Surfaces

ABSTRACT Objective To determine the effects of zwitterionic hydrogel films on mucus contact angles, flow, and stasis with respect to medical polymer surfaces, both flat and tubular. Methods A zwitterionic hydrogel thin film was photografted onto medical rubber surfaces and compared against non‐zwitt...
