摘要:
Provided herein is a PEA polymer blend and coatings or implantable devices formed therefrom. The PEA polymer blend is formed of a PEA polymer and a material capable of hydrogen bonding with the PEA. The PEA polymer blend can form a coating on an implantable device, one example of which is a stent. The coating can optionally include a biobeneficial material and/or optionally with a bioactive agent. The implantable device can be used to treat or prevent a disorder such as one of atherosclerosis, thrombosis, restenosis, hemorrhage, vascular dissection or perforation, vascular aneurysm, vulnerable plaque, chronic total occlusion, claudication, anastomotic proliferation for vein and artificial grafts, bile duct obstruction, ureter obstruction, tumor obstruction, and combinations thereof.
摘要:
The present invention discloses a method of modulating drug release from a coating on a medical device, a medical device including a coating formed thereby, and a method of using the medical device for treating, preventing or ameliorating a medical condition.
摘要:
A method of making a therapeutic composition, as well as the therapeutic composition so made, is disclosed. The method comprises mixing a hydrophobic drug with an aqueous buffer solution and adding a surfactant to the aqueous buffer solution to form the therapeutic composition. A implantable medical device with the therapeutic composition and a method of making a coating for an implantable medical device containing the therapeutic composition is also disclosed.
摘要:
The current invention relates to devices and methods for protecting drugs coated on implantable medical devices, in particular drug-eluting stents, involving the inclusion of free or, preferably at present, polymer-bound stable nitroxides in a coating layer on the device that is either the same layer that contains the drug or that is located between the drug-containing layer and the source of free electrons used to sterilize the device.
