    摘要: A barrier layer device is formed of an underlying biocompatible structure having a barrier layer coating that can exhibit anti-inflammatory properties, non-inflammatory properties, and/or adhesion-limiting properties, as well as generate a modulated healing effect on injured tissue. As implemented herein, the barrier layer is a non-polymeric cross-linked gel derived at least in part from a fatty acid compound, and may include a therapeutic agent. The underlying structure can be in the form of a surgical mesh. The barrier device is further provided with anchoring reinforcements to aid with the fastening of the barrier device for implantation purposes and reinforcing truss sections or portions that prohibit or substantially reduce the occurrence of excessive stretching and tearing. The barrier device is implantable in a patient for short term or long term applications, and can include controlled release of the therapeutic agent.

    摘要: A non-polymeric or biological coating applied to radially expandable interventional medical devices provides uniform drug distribution and permeation of the coating and any therapeutic agents mixed therewith into a targeted treatment area within the body. The coating is sterile, and is capable of being carried by a sterile medical device to a targeted tissue location within the body following radial expansion. The therapeutic coating transfers off the medical device due in part to a biological attraction with the tissue and in part to a physical transference from the medical device to the targeted tissue location in contact with the medical device. Thus, atraumatic local tissue transference delivery is achieved for uniform therapeutic agent distribution and controlled bio-absorption into the tissue after placement within a patient's body with a non-inflammatory coating.

    摘要: A non-polymeric or biological coating applied to radially expandable medical delivery device provides uniform drug distribution and permeation of the coating and any therapeutic agents mixed therewith into a targeted treatment area within the body. The delivery device is expanded using the pressure of an inflation fluid. After expanding the delivery device to a pre-determined size and shape, the inflation fluid weeps through the porous surface of the delivery device. The coating releases the delivery device and floats on the inflation fluid until bonding to the tissue due to its affinity for the tissue. Once the coating bonds or affixes to the tissue, through an absorption mechanism by the tissue cells of the coating material, the coating and any therapeutics contained therein are delivered to the tissue. The fluid can contain a therapeutic agent, or can be otherwise biocompatible and/or inert.

    摘要: A radially expandable fluid delivery device for delivering a fluid to a treatment site within the body is disclosed. The fluid delivery device is constructed of a microporous, biocompatible fluoropolymer material having a microstructure that can provide a controlled, uniform, low-velocity fluid distribution through the walls of the fluid delivery device to effectively deliver fluid to the treatment site without damaging tissue proximate the walls of the device. The fluid delivery device includes a tubular member defined by a wall having a thickness transverse to the longitudinal axis of the tubular member and extending between an inner and an outer surface. The wall is characterized by a microstructure of nodes interconnected by fibrils. The tubular member is deployable from a first, reduced diameter configuration to a second, increased diameter configuration upon the introduction of a pressurized fluid to the lumen. The tubular member includes at least one microporous portion having a porosity sufficient for the pressurized fluid to permeate through the wall. Substantially all of the nodes within the microporous portion are oriented such that spaces between the nodes form micro-channels extending from the inner surface-to the outer surface of the wall.

    摘要: A vascular endoprosthesis is formed of a tubular liner preform with a continuous surface and having a diameter smaller than that of an intended vessel. The liner is inserted to a treatment site, and its sheet material undergoes a radially-directed expansion to a final size that fits the vessel. Insertion and in situ expansion are achieved using a catheter assembly in which either an internal stent, such as a stiff-filament helically woven tube, or an inflatable balloon urge the liner preform outwardly against the inner wall of the vessel. The stent, or one or more simple internal snap-rings anchor the expanded liner in place. The expanded liner is porous, or becomes more porous during expansion, and one or more aspects of its porosity are tailored to the intended treatment goal of immobilizing treatment material, isolating cells, or permitting controlled permeation of selected materials.
