The presence of a foreign body in the human body causes disturbances in its proper functioning. It can lead to biofilm formation on the stent surface, which may favor the development of urinary tract infections or the formation of encrustation, as well as stent fragmentation, complicating its subsequent removal. In this work, the effect of the polymeric coating containing the active substance-papaverine hydrochloride on the functional properties of ureteral stents significant for clinical practice were assessed. Methods: The most commonly clinically used polyurethane ureteral Double-J stent was selected for the study. Using the dip-coating method, the surface of the stent was coated with a poly(D,L-lactide-glycolide) (PLGA) coating containing the papaverine hydrochloride (PAP). In particular, strength properties, retention strength of the stent ends, dynamic frictional force, and the fluoroscopic visibility of the stent during X-ray imaging were determined. Results: The analysis of the test results indicates the usefulness of a biodegradable polymer coating containing the active substance for the modification of the surface of polyurethane ureteral stents. The stents coated with PLGA+PAP coating compared to polyurethane stents are characterized by more favorable strength properties, the smaller value of the dynamic frictional force, without reducing the fluoroscopic visibility.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/ijms22147705","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,7,19]],"date-time":"2021-07-19T10:07:37Z","timestamp":1626689257000},"page":"7705","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":22,"title":["Functional Properties of Polyurethane Ureteral Stents with PLGA and Papaverine Hydrochloride Coating"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"22","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-5755-490X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Magdalena","family":"Antonowicz","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Biomaterials and Medical Devices Engineering, Faculty of Biomedical Engineering, Silesian University of Technology, Roosevelta 40 St., 41-800 Zabrze, Poland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Janusz","family":"Szewczenko","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Biomaterials and Medical Devices Engineering, Faculty of Biomedical Engineering, Silesian University of Technology, Roosevelta 40 St., 41-800 Zabrze, Poland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Joanna","family":"Jaworska","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Centre of Polymer and Carbon Materials of the Polish Academy of Sciences, 34 Marii Sk\u0142odowskiej-Curie St., 41-819 Zabrze, Poland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-2625-5434","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Katarzyna","family":"Jelonek","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Centre of Polymer and Carbon Materials of the Polish Academy of Sciences, 34 Marii Sk\u0142odowskiej-Curie St., 41-819 Zabrze, Poland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-8229-3032","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Kamil","family":"Joszko","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Biomechatronics, Faculty of Biomedical Engineering, Silesian University of Technology, Roosevelta 40 St., 41-800 Zabrze, Poland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-4286-001X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Bo\u017cena","family":"Gzik-Zroska","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Biomaterials and Medical Devices Engineering, Faculty of Biomedical Engineering, Silesian University of Technology, Roosevelta 40 St., 41-800 Zabrze, Poland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-2606-0525","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Pawe\u0142 M.","family":"Nuckowski","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Materials Research Laboratory, Faculty of Mechanical Engineering, Silesian University of Technology, 18A Konarskiego St., 44-100 Gliwice, Poland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-7203-9006","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Piotr","family":"Bryniarski","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Urology, School of Medicine with the Division of Dentistry in Zabrze, Medical University of Silesia, 13-15 3 Maja St., 41-800 Zabrze, Poland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Zbigniew","family":"Paszenda","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Biomaterials and Medical Devices Engineering, Faculty of Biomedical Engineering, Silesian University of Technology, Roosevelta 40 St., 41-800 Zabrze, Poland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-6882-2930","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Damian S.","family":"Nakonieczny","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Biomaterials and Medical Devices Engineering, Faculty of Biomedical Engineering, Silesian University of Technology, Roosevelta 40 St., 41-800 Zabrze, Poland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-8667-4633","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Karla \u010cech","family":"Barabaszov\u00e1","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Nanotechnology Centre, CEET, V\u0160B-Technical University of Ostrava, 17.
