From: An engineered micropattern to reduce bacterial colonization, platelet adhesion and fibrin sheath formation for improved biocompatibility of central venous catheters

Figure 3

The Sharklet micropattern reduces platelet adhesion. Representative images of immunostained platelets on (a) unpatterned, (b) +3SK2x2 and (c) -3SK2x2 TPU surfaces. Quantification of fluorescent images revealed that both Sharklet micropatterns significantly reduce platelet area coverage compared to unpatterned controls. Scale bar, 10 μm.
