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.

Abstract translation: 本发明的实施例包括涂覆装置和相关方法。 在一个实施例中，本发明包括涂覆装置。 涂布装置可以包括马达，旋转接触构件，流体施加器，流体泵和基座构件。 流体施加器可以包括孔口。 旋转接触构件可以构造成围绕不旋转的待涂覆装置旋转。 旋转接触构件可以构造成沿待涂覆的装置的纵向轴线移动。 在一个实施例中，本发明包括涂覆医疗装置的方法。 医疗装置的涂敷方法可以包括使非旋转医疗装置的外径附近的接触部件旋转，在与所述接触部件相邻的位置向所述非旋转医疗装置的外径施加涂布溶液， 并且相对于彼此移动所述接触构件和所述非旋转医疗装置中的至少一个，使得所述接触构件相对于所述非旋转医疗装置的纵向轴线移动。 本文还包括其它实施例。
