The paper presents study performed to investigate the possible use of modified poly(ε-caprolactone) as a potential material for catheters. Experiment verifies if thermal modification using liquid nitrogen (LN) changes microstructure, biostability, mechanical and physicochemical properties of polymer. The easiness of forming material into tubes to confirm handiness was checked.
