Many other applications for plasma polymers in the Life Sciences have been dted, often in relation to implantable medical devices or materials, with the goal of concealing the device from the bodies defence mechanisms, or improving cell colonisation of the material, e.g. endothelial cell growth into vascular grafts. A number of excellent studies from the group of Hans Griesser (CSIRO, Australia) describe the use of plasma polymers as substrates to which biomolecules can be immobilised. These immobilisations have been demonstrated to enhance the medium-term acceptability of contact lens materials and may prove relevant to implantable devices. 

The polysulfones are biologically inert and resistant to steam sterilization and y-radiation what avails people to use them in medicine when implanting artificial lens instead of removed due to a surgical intervention and when producing medical tools and devices (inhalers bodies, ophthalmoscopes, etc.).
