    Abstract: Methods for forming a “coating gradient” on medical devices, such as a balloon catheter or guidewire are disclosed. The balloon portion of the catheter has a protective covering initially placed over it to prevent the balloon from receiving a first hydrophilic coating. After a first hydrophilic coating is applied, the protective covering is removed. A second hydrophilic coating could be applied to the catheter. A guidewire having less lubricity at the distal end portion also can be created. A first hydrophilic coating is applied to the elongated shaft and distal shaft section of the guidewire. After the first hydrophilic coating cures, the first hydrophilic coating is removed from a portion of the distal shaft section of the guidewire. A second hydrophillic coating can then be applied to the elongated shaft and distal shaft section of the guidewire. The second hydrophilic coating can be allowed to cure.

    Abstract: Balloon catheter includes an outer shaft including a hypotube and a monolithic multilayer distal outer member and having an inflation lumen defined therethrough, a balloon in fluid communication with the inflation lumen, and an inner tubular member having a guidewire lumen defined therethrough. The monolithic multilayer distal outer member has a proximal end portion and a distal end portion. The monolithic multilayer distal outer member has an inner layer comprising a first polymer having a tensile strength greater than about 8,000 psi and an outer layer comprising a second polymer having a flexural modulus of less than about 130,000 psi at room temperature. A proximal end of the monolithic multilayer distal outer member is coupled to the hypotube. The monolithic multilayer distal outer member is necked to a reduced diameter along at least a portion of a length thereof. The balloon has a proximal balloon shaft coupled to a distal end of the monolithic multilayer distal outer member. The inner tubular member extends distally from a proximal port in the proximal end portion of the monolithic multilayer distal outer member through at least a portion of the balloon.

    Abstract: Methods for forming a “coating gradient” on medical devices, such as a balloon catheter or guidewire are disclosed. The balloon portion of the catheter could have a protective covering initially placed over it to prevent the balloon from receiving a first hydrophilic coating. After a first hydrophilic coating is applied to the catheter, the protective covering can be removed exposing the uncoated surface of the balloon. Next, after the protective covering has been removed, a second hydrophilic coating could be applied to the catheter. A guidewire having less lubricity at the distal end portion of the guidewire than the shaft portion which extends proximally away from the distal end section can be created. The method includes the application of a first hydrophilic coating on the elongated shaft and distal shaft section of the guidewire. This first hydrophilic coating is then allowed to cure. Next, the first hydrophilic coating is removed from a portion of the distal shaft section of the guidewire. After the first coating has been removed, a second hydrophillic coating can be applied to the elongated shaft and distal shaft section of the guidewire. The second hydrophilic coating can be allowed to cure.
