摘要

A device such as a medical device and a method for making same provides a device surfaces modified by beam irradiation, such as a gas cluster ion beams or a neutral beam, to inhibit or delay attachment or activation or clotting of platelets or to match surface energy of the device to that of a protein with the property of inhibition of bacterial colonization that can coat the all or part of the device surface to effect such inhibition.
