-
In groups A61L 33/0076 to A61L 33/0094 and A61L 33/02 to A61L 33/12 A, in the absence of an indication to the contrary, classification is made in the last appropriate place

When classifying in groups A61L 33/02 to A61L 33/12 A, classification is also made in group A61L 33/0005 if of interest

In group A61L 33/00 , the use of specific polymers is indicated using the relevant classification symbols of subclass C08L int the second position of the combination set, e.g. antithrombogenic treatment with the help of polyvinylchloride A61L 33/06 B, C08L 27/06
