    摘要: Methods of fabricating a polymeric implantable device, such as a stent, with improved fracture toughness through annealing a polymer construct below the glass transition temperature of the polymer of the construct prior to a deformation step are disclosed herein. The deformation of the construct induces crystallization in the polymer construct through strain-induced crystallization. The annealing of the polymer construct accelerates the crystallization induced during the deformation and results in an increase in crystallite density with smaller crystallites as compared to deformation of a tube that has not been annealed. A stent scaffolding is then made from the deformed tube.

    摘要: Methods are disclosed for improving the storage performance of polymeric stents that reduce or eliminate the effects of long term aging on the properties of the stents. A polymeric stent or a polymeric tube from which a stent is made is heated to a temperature between ambient and the glass transition temperature of the polymer for a period of time. The heating causes densification or an increase in density of the polymer which stabilizes the properties of the polymer in later processing steps and storage. The stent can be made from a polymeric tube that is expanded at a temperature above the glass transition temperature and cooled to maintain an expanded diameter.
