Abstract:
Embodiments of the invention include coating apparatuses and related methods. In an embodiment, the invention includes a coating apparatus. The coating apparatus can include a motor, a rotating contact member, a fluid applicator, a fluid pump, and a base member. The fluid applicator can include an orifice. The rotating contact member can be configured to rotate around a device to be coated that does not rotate. The rotating contact member can be configured to move along the lengthwise axis of a device to be coated. In an embodiment, the invention includes a method of coating a medical device. The method of coating a medical device can include a rotating a contact member around the outer diameter of a non-rotating medical device, applying a coating solution to the outer diameter of the non-rotating medical device at a position adjacent to the contact member, and moving at least one of the contact member and the non-rotating medical device with respect to one another so that the contact member moves with respect to the lengthwise axis of the non-rotating medical device. Other embodiments are also included herein.
