    摘要: An expandable medical device having a particle layer disposed over a reservoir containing a therapeutic agent. The particle layer has a first porosity when the medical device is in the unexpanded configuration and a second porosity when the medical device is in the expanded configuration. The particle layer comprises a plurality of micron-sized or nano-sized particles. In certain embodiments, the particles are not connected to each other, and as such, the different porosities are provided by changes in the spacing between the particles as the medical device is expanded/unexpanded. Also disclosed are medical devices having a particle layer, wherein the particle layer comprises a plurality of encapsulated particles, and methods of coating medical devices with particles.

    摘要: A system and method for providing a coating on a self-expandable medical device such as a stent are disclosed. The system comprises a coating applicator at the distal end of a sheath which delivers coating material onto the stent as the stent is deployed from the sheath. Thus, the stent may be loaded into the sheath without a coating on the stent, thereby avoiding shearing off or damaging the coating during loading. Also, the coating is applied only as the stent exits the sheath, thereby avoiding shearing off or damaging the coating during deployment.
