Comparative study of vascular prostheses coated with polycyclodextrins for controlled ciprofloxacin release

► Polyester vascular graft was modified with a cyclodextrin polymer (βCD, HPβCD, MeβCD). ► The inclusion of ciprofloxacin in the three cyclodextrins was proved by NMR. ► The drug loading and drug release depends on the kind of chose cyclodextrin. ► The antibacterial activity is prolonged at least 24 h on Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus.
