Abstract
In embodiments, medical devices have a surface that includes a catalytic material, and a non-fouling material attached to the surface. The non-fouling material can be released from the surface, for example, by cleavage of a bond connecting the material to the surface. The bond can be a chemical bond, such as a covalent bond.
