Zoe Cahill: Are We Designing Vascular Grafts for Structure Instead of Biology
Zoe Cahill, Coating Specialist at Smart Reactors, shared a post on LinkedIn:
“A vascular graft can be perfectly engineered and still fail.
Not because of structure.
But because of what happens in the first few seconds after blood contact.
Protein adsorption. Platelet activation.
The cascade starts immediately.
We don’t talk enough about that moment.
Smart Reactors Camouflage is built around it.
Designing surfaces that guide that early response, not fight it later.
Are we still solving for structure, when we should be solving for biology?”
