Abstract:
A coating for a medical device or appliance may include a fluoropolymer and a polyimide. Such coatings may provide a lubricious exterior surface that facilitates insertion or displacement of a medical device in a body lumen. Some coatings that include a fluoropolymer and a polyimide may, among other functions and characteristics, provide increased strength and/or durability relative to some other coatings.
Abstract:
Exemplary embodiments provide materials and methods for polymer-based fixing members that have a textured surface with reduced surface energy and increased surface hydrophobicity.
Abstract:
An endless belt comprising a polyimide-based substrate layer. The polyimide-based substrate layer is made by curing a mixture comprising a polyimide precursor and a polyalkylene glycol silicone phosphate. A method of making the polyimide-based substrate layer and a coating composition for making the endless belt are also disclosed.
