    摘要: Methods of forming support layers for use in catheters using having a support layer included, and stents incorporating coatings of photosensitive polymerizable resins and stents including fibers coated with photosensitive polymerizable resins. A fiber is coated with a PPC resin and incorporated into a support structure for a catheter. Portions of the PPC are polymerized by exposure to light of a desired wavelength, causing increased rigidity and strength to the polymerized portions. As the PPC is polymerized, the fibers coated by the PPC resins become stronger and change the flexibility of devices incorporating such fibers. Additional embodiments include stents incorporating PPC coatings and methods of using such stents, including polymerizing a PPC coating after inserting a self-expanding or balloon-expandable stent.

    摘要: According to an aspect of the present invention, implantable or insertable medical devices (also referred to as internal medical devices) are provided. These medical devices include at least one machined layer, at least a portion of which is disposed over at least one underlying region (e.g., a therapeutic agent containing region, a catalytic region, etc.). The at least one machined layer contains a plurality of excavated regions which promote the transport of molecular species across the machined layer. An advantage of the present invention is that medical devices are provided, in which the transport of species into the medical device, out of the medical device, or both are controlled, and may be customized, as desired.

    摘要: A laser shock peening process for producing one or more compressive residual stress regions in a medical device is disclosed. A high-energy laser apparatus can be utilized to direct an intense laser beam through a confining medium and onto the target surface of a workpiece. An absorption overlay disposed on the target surface of the workpiece absorbs the laser beam, inducing a pressure shock wave that forms a compressive residual stress region deep within the workpiece. Medical devices such as stents and guidewires having one or more of these compressive residual stress regions are also disclosed.

    摘要: A catheter assembly comprises a catheter shaft having a device receiving portion, an expandable balloon disposed about the device receiving portion, and a sheath. The sheath has an outer surface and an inner surface defining an inner lumen. The outer surface and inner surface has a sheath wall extending there between. The outer surface has slits therethrough which extend into the sheath wall. The sheath has an expanded state and an unexpanded state such that the sheath maintains the substantially same longitudinal length in the expanded state and the unexpanded state.
