    Abstract: A medical device crimping system comprises a crimper and a plurality of protective strips. The crimper defines a crimping iris, which has an open state and a closed state. In the open state the cross-sectional area of the crimping iris is greater than in the closed state. The plurality of protective strips extend longitudinally through the crimping iris. Each of the strips is radially offset from one another. The strips protect the stent from direct contact with the crimping blades of the crimper.

    Abstract: An apparatus and method for improved control of low viscosity fluid flow during electrohydrodynamic spray deposition of the fluid to coat small targets, such as medical devices like stents. The apparatus includes a target holder which applies a first electrical potential to a target, a coating fluid transporter such as a wick, a siphon tube or a siphon tube with a wick therein along which the coating fluid flows from a reservoir to a dispensing end of the transporter, and an electrode which applied a second electrical potential to the coating fluid sufficient to cause the coating fluid to be attracted from the dispensing end of the transporter toward the target. This provides a target coating apparatus with highly self-regulating coating fluid flow characteristics despite the low viscosity of the coating fluid, while producing highly consistent and uniform target coatings.

    Abstract: The present invention is directed to a coated medical device for delivering a biologically active agent to a body tissue such as a body lumen, said coated medical device having an increased coating surface area for adjusting the release rate of a biologically active agent, such as a drug, from the coating. The medical device has a coating comprising an outer surface having a surface area and capable of being in direct contact with the body tissue, and a plurality of indentations in the outer surface of the coating. The surface area of the coating outer surface is therefore greater than the surface area of the coating outer surface absent the indentations. The present invention is also directed to a method for making a medical device comprising forming a coating comprising a polymer and a biologically active agent on a surface of a medical device, wherein the coating comprises an outer surface capable of being in direct contact with body tissue, and increasing the surface area of the outer surface by forming indentations on the outer surface of the coating.
