    摘要: A vascular or endoluminal stent adapted for deployment in a vessel or tract of a patient to maintain an open lumen therein is formed from a metal open-ended tube which is the single component of the stent. The tube has a multiplicity of holes cut by laser through its wall. The through-holes are encompassed by serpentines that constitute the wall, the serpentines extending sinusoidally each in multiple 360.degree. wavelengths in a single turn about the axis of the tube and juxtaposed in plural substantially identical segments disposed with regularity along the axis. Each segment has a length equal to the distance between crests and troughs of the sinusoid. Adjacent serpentines are joined together at crest and trough, respectively, so that their interconnections are 180.degree. out of phase relative to their wavelength. The serpentines and interconnections thereof are shaped throughout for optimum uniform expansion of the stent during deployment thereof, including a notch substantially symmetrically located at either side of the junction of the respective crest and trough of the interconnections between adjacent serpentines. The serpentines are substantially devoid of sharp corners and edges, except at the notches, and each serpentine has an oval cross-section. The regularity of the segments is interrupted at least once along the axis of the tube by serpentines oriented differently from the others, used to maintain the tube's length substantially invariant despite radial expansion of the stent during deployment. The serpentines are pre-stressed and annealed before deployment of the stent to ease deployment and enhance symmetrical radial expansion. The exterior surface of the tube is longitudinally tapered from its mid-point toward its ends, and substantially rounded surfaces prevail throughout the tube.

    摘要: This invention relates to an implant for treating pathological changes in the spinal column and/or locomotor system. According to one embodiment of the invention, the implant has a surface, a body, and an enamel-like or varnish-like coating that is up to 100 μm thick, comprises a biodegradable polymer such as polylactide which has a mean molecular weight of 100 kDa or less, forms an adhesive bond to the surface of the body such that when the implant is implanted, mechanical friction will not abrade or damage the coating, and is adapted to contact bone when implanted. This coating has an osteoinductive effect, which promotes the healing of fractures. Additional osteoinductive materials such as growth factors may be incorporated in the coating. The invention also relates to a method for producing such an implant using the following steps: preparing a dispersion of a biodegradable polymer in an organic solvent; applying the dispersion on the surface to be coated; and allowing the organic solvent to evaporate.

    摘要: An expandable tubular endoluminal prosthesis for maintaining the patency of a bodily vessel has a plurality of axially spaced serpentine bands. Each serpentine band has a proximal and distal end and a plurality of interconnected struts. Serpentine bands which are adjacent one another are connected one to the other. The prosthesis has a flow path therethrough and is capable of radial outward expansion from a first diameter to a second enlarged diameter. In a cross-section perpendicular to the flowpath, the struts have thicker portions with a narrower portion therebetween and have a greater width than thickness.

    摘要: A method is disclosed for coating a biomaterial to be placed in contact with a patient's blood flow to inhibit blood coagulation from adhering to the biomaterial that would otherwise result from such contact. A biodegradable material of liquid state compatible with the blood and tissue of the human body is prepared, and an anti-coagulant drug is incorporated into the liquid state of the biodegradable material to form a liquid coating material. The liquid coating material is adhesively applied to a surface of the biomaterial in a substantially continuous overlying layer having a formulation, pattern and thickness selected according to the period of time over which the coating material is to perform its anti-coagulant action. Thereafter the coating material is dried to a layer thickness less than about 100 microns for continuous disintegration thereof as a function of time when the layer is in contact with flowing blood. The method is utilized in an exemplary embodiment in which the biomaterial is a vascular stent.

    摘要: A method of using a substantially non-porous equine collagen foil to repair and regenerate dura mater tissue of mammals when the dura mater tissue is damaged as a result of injury, tumors, surgery, and the like. The non-porous equine collagen foil comprises collagen fibrils which provides a replacement dura mater composition that is elastic, liquid-tight, and which has a high tensile strength. The non-porous equine collagen foil is furthermore resorbable and provides a biomatrix, wherein a neodura is rapidly formed which becomes indistinguishable from the autologous dura mater in a matter of weeks. The process for making the equine collagen foil reduces the likelihood of disease transmission.
