摘要:
The present invention is directed to a medical device having a polymerized base coat layer for the immobilization of an anti-thrombogenic material, such as heparin, thereon. The binding coat layer is comprised of various chemically functional groups which are stable and allow for the immobilization of the anti-thrombogenic material thereto. Methods for immobilizing the anti-thrombogenic material within the base coat layer posited on a surface of the medical device are also provided.
摘要:
A carbon coating on a stent having a bioactive agent covalently attached thereto and methods of making the same are described. The covalent attachment may be achieved via a photo-reactive chemical or a thermo-reactive chemical. In some embodiments, the carbon coating includes a diamond-like material. The bioactive agent may be heparin or superoxide dismutase enzyme or a mimetic thereof.
摘要:
Systems comprising modified heparin-based coatings to form coatings on medical devices are provided. The systems improve the suitability of the heparin-based coatings.
摘要:
A polymeric composition comprising a polysulfone polymer and an elastomeric polymer for use as a coating composition for coating an implantable device, such as a DES, and methods of making and using the implantable device are provided.
摘要:
An implantable medical device is disclosed comprising a high-density lipoprotein (HDL), recombinant HDL, high-density lipoprotein mimics (HDLm), or a combination thereof. Method are also disclosed for local and systemic administration HDL, recombinant HDL or HDLm for the prevention, treatment, or amelioration of a vascular disorder, disease or occlusion such as restenosis or vulnerable plaque.
摘要:
A coating for a medical device, particularly for a drug eluting stent, is described. The coating can include a polymer having in a dry state a glass transition temperature within a range of between about 20° C. and about 55° C.
摘要:
A method is provided for forming a polymeric coating on a stent. The method can comprise applying a prepolymer or a combination of prepolymers to the stent and initiating polymerization to form a polymeric coating on the stent. The coating material can optionally contain a biologically active agent or combination of agents.
摘要:
A method of coating an implantable medical device, such as a stent, is disclosed. The method includes applying a formulation on a first polymer layer containing a therapeutic substance to form a second layer. The formulation can contain a highly hydrophobic polymer or a solvent which is a poor solvent for the drug or the polymer of the first layer. The formulation can have a low surface tension value or a high Weber number value.
摘要:
A prodrug comprising a heparin and a drug is provided. The prodrug can be used to form a coating on a medical device. The prodrug can also be used with a polymeric material to form a coating on a medical device. The polymeric material can be a hydrophobic polymer, a hydrophilic polymer, a non-fouling polymer, or combinations thereof. The medical device can be implanted in a human being for the treatment of a disease such as 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, or combinations thereof.
