PCT No. PCT/EP96/00509 Sec. 371 Date Oct. 7, 1999 Sec. 102(e) Date Oct. 7, 1999 PCT Filed Feb. 7, 1996 PCT Pub. No. WO96/24392 PCT Pub. Date Aug. 15, 1996Processes are provided for coating the surfaces of objects with hyaluronic acid, its derivatives or other natural or semisynthetic polymers, for applications in the fields of surgery, health care and diagnostics. The processes make it possible to bind such polymers in a stable manner to the surfaces of objects made of a wide range of materials. Surfaces treated according to the processes are characterized by a high degree of wettability, and are able to inhibit the adhesion of cells or bacteria present in the biological fluids.
