    摘要: 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.

    摘要: 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.

    摘要: The present invention concerns bio-compatible medical devices and process for preparation thereof. The process includes electrostatically forming a first layer on a structure. The first layer can include a combination of at least one active substance and at least one polymer and/or binder. A second layer is formed on the structure to cover the first layer. The second layer can be a solvent or a combination of solvents. The evaporation of the second layer causes the first layer to reflow and bind to the structure.

    摘要: A predilation device may comprise a shaft portion and a distal tip having helical threadings. The predilation device may further include a rapid exchange element rotatably coupled to the shaft portion. A guidewire may slidably engage the rapid exchange element and may guide the predilation device to a lesion site. The predilation device may be positioned with the distal tip abutting the lesion. The shaft portion may be rotated, thereby rotating the tip and causing the tip to pass through the lesion and predilate the lesion. In some embodiments, the tip may remove lesion material.

    摘要: The present invention is directed to a method for coating a surface of a medical device with a coating composition. The method involves chilling the surface to be coated to below the freezing point of at least one solvent contained in the composition. This coating composition is applied to the chilled surface, and a portion of the coating composition is allowed to freeze onto the surface. The surface can then be heated (either by the application of heat from an external source, by allowing to heat by ambient air) to above the freezing point of the solvent in the coating composition to allow the solvent to thaw and be removed, thereby forming a smooth, uniform coating on the surface of the medical device.
