    摘要: According to one aspect of the invention, a method of forming a medical device is provided, which includes: (a) contacting a substrate with a solution that contains (i) one or more types of polymers, (ii) a solvent that contains one or more types of solvent species, and (iii) one or more optional agents, for example, one or more therapeutic agents, among others; and (b) removing the solvent from the solution, thereby forming a polymeric layer on the substrate. The composition of the solution is changed over the course of forming the polymeric layer. In another aspect of the invention, a medical device is provided, which includes a substrate and a polymeric layer over the substrate. The polymeric layer contains a copolymer that contains differing first and second monomers. The lower surface of the polymeric layer contacting the substrate has a surface concentration of the first monomer relative to the second monomer that is higher than that of the upper surface of the polymeric layer opposite the substrate.

    摘要: An implantable medical device has an outer stent with a tubular body disposed about a longitudinal axis. The outer stent includes members defining openings which are in fluid communication with a flow path. At least one opening is larger than adjacent openings when the outer stent is in an expanded state, and is positioned between the ends of the outer stent. The at least one larger opening is a side branch opening having a perimeter. The device also has an inner stent with a tubular body disposed within the outer stent and about a longitudinal axis. The inner stent has a branch portion with deployable petals positioned adjacent to the side branch opening of the outer stent. The petals are biased against the perimeter of the side branch opening such that the petals are restrained from opening outward when the outer stent is in an unexpanded state.

    摘要: The improved process and apparatus for the restoration of seagrass includes a biodegradable bag or sack, referred to as a sediment tube, that is filled with sand and placed in a prop scar or blow hole. The sediment tube corrects many issues created a prop scar or blowhole: (1) the trench or hole is filled, restoring the elevation of the scar to the surround grade of the seagrass; (2) the sediment tubes stabilize the scar, preventing further erosion of the sand by the flow of water; (3) the sediment tube optionally includes fine-grained sediments that promote seagrass growth and recovery; and (4) the sediment tube includes fertilizer and/or other chemical or minerals that encourage growth.
