Abstract: Methods and devices for dilating a stricture of a body lumen are disclosed. In some embodiments, a device for dilating a lumen of a body comprises an elongate member having a proximal end and a distal end and an inflatable scaffold member disposed on the distal end of the elongate member, the inflatable scaffold member defining a lumen. In some additional embodiments, the device may further include an inflation member in fluid communication with the lumen of the inflatable scaffold member. Additionally, in some embodiments, the inflatable scaffold member is frangibly connected to the inflation member.

Abstract: A method for reducing mucus accumulation in an airway including disposing an implantable device within an airway, wherein the implantable device has a first end, a second end, and an inner surface defining a lumen extending from the first end to the second end; wherein at least a portion of the inner surface has a hydrophobic polymer coating thereon, wherein a polymer coating surface has dynamic water contact angles of 145 degrees or greater; and wherein the implantable device is constructed and arranged to maintain patency of the airway; wherein accumulation of mucus is reduced as compared to a similar implantable device without the hydrophobic portion of the inner surface. An implantable medical device having a superhydrophobic surface and a method of making an implantable medical device having a superhydrophobic surface are also provided. An implantable medical device having a micropatterned surface with enhanced adhesion to tissue, optionally in combination with other region(s) having a superhydrophobic surface and a method of making such a device. Methods and devices for prevention of bacterial adhesion to implanted medical devices.

Abstract: A guidewire includes an elongate core member having an intermediate segment, a distal segment and a proximal segment, a distal shoulder between the intermediate segment and the distal segment and a proximal shoulder between the intermediate segment and the proximal segment. A coil having a proximal end and a distal end is disposed about at least a portion of the distal segment of the elongate core member and disposed adjacent to the distal shoulder. A distal tip comprising a polymer material is disposed adjacent to the distal end of the coil and a proximal polymer member, the proximal polymer member disposed adjacent to the proximal shoulder. At least the intermediate segment and the coil have a diameter that is substantially the same.
