Abstract

The invention relates to implantable devices and materials, in which at least one part of the surface is provided with a tissue-plasminogen activator (t-PA). In this way, inflammatory reactions of the body and the formation of fibrous capsules, which ordinarily occur after implantation, are avoided or reduced.
