摘要:
In an assembly of a balloon mounted on a catheter and a stent mounted over the deflated balloon, the balloon is provided with a fugitive plasticizer before the stent is crimped over the balloon. The fugitive plasticizer can soften the balloon surface so that molding of the balloon surface to conform to the crimped stent occurs. The fugitive plasticizer is removed before the assembly is used.
摘要:
A product is disclosed which comprises, or produced from, a substrate having coated, encased, impregnated, laminated, coextruded, calendered, or applied with a composition in which the substrate can be plastics, paper, wood, coating, fabric, metal, leather, or combinations of two or more thereof and the composition can comprise or be produced from an organic polymer, a silicone rubber, a metal compound, and optionally an inorganic filler.
摘要:
A hammer includes a handle, a head mounted on the handle and having a distal end having an end face formed with an insertion recess, and a striking portion mounted on the distal end of the head and having an end face formed with an insertion block inserted into the insertion recess of the head. Thus, the cushioning gap between the striking portion and the head provides a vibration absorbing and cushioning effect during operation of the hammer, so that the hammer is operated smoothly and stably, thereby enhancing the striking effect of the hammer, and thereby facilitating a user operating the hammer.
摘要:
Composite fiber reinforced balloons for medical devices prepared by applying a web of fibers to the exterior of a preformed underlying balloon and encasing the web with a matrix material to form a composite balloon. The fiber web is applied to at least the cone portion of the underlying balloon form. Either the cone portion of the underlying balloon form, or the web fibers applied to said cone portion, or both, have a friction-enhancing material coated thereon.
摘要:
A medical balloon composed of a micro-composite material which provides for radial expansion of a balloon to a predetermined extent, but which has minimal longitudinal growth during balloon inflation. The micro-composite material includes a fibril component, a matrix component, and optionally, a compatibilizer. The fibril component may preferably be liquid crystal polymer fibers randomly scattered through out the balloon material. The liquid crystal polymers are created by extrusion at high speed. An alternative fibril component may be a PET fibers which are uniformly spaced about the balloon material and extend through out the length of the balloon material tube.

Methods, systems, and uses of bucky paper are provided in the present invention. These embodiments include covering medical implants with single or multiple layers of bucky paper, treating bucky paper with various therapeutics to be released through the bucky paper to a target site, shaping bucky paper into non-conventional configurations for improved therapeutic deliver, and using bucky paper alone or in conjunction with other materials to treat a target site.
摘要:
Disclosed are thermoplastic compositions comprising partially or fully neutralized carboxylic acid-based ionomers modified with rosin or rosin derivatives and, optionally, organic acids and salts thereof. Methods of preparing the thermoplastic compositions are also provided. The thermoplastic compositions exhibit higher hardness and stiffness than typical ionomer compositions. Also disclosed are golf balls, sporting equipment, and other non-sport articles comprising said thermoplastic compositions and methods for their preparation.
