Biocompatibility testing results: (a) the results are shown as obtained based on using withdrawn samples during in vitro release testing after the desired time intervals, (b) results based on the evaluation of biocompatibility directly on the AISI 316LVM stainless steel substrates and (c) confocal microscopy images obtained after staining of the sample and control using the Live/Dead assay.
