Improving Biocompatibility of Polyurethanes Apply in Medicine Using Oxygen Plasma and Its Negative Effect on Increased Bacterial Adhesion

<div>AFM surface topography of unmodified and modified polyurethane with low-temperature oxygen plasma (FEMTO system, Diener Electronics) for 5 min, 0.14 mbar, and 50 W. The cross sections include graphs showing the surface height profile before and after low-temperature oxygen plasma treatment at 5 <i>μ</i>m for 5 min.</div>
