    摘要: The drug eluting folded stent and a stent delivery system, which includes a stent having a plurality of struts interconnected to form a tubular body. At least one of the struts includes a U-shaped strut having in cross-section a first leg, a second leg, and a closed end connecting the first leg and the second leg, wherein the first leg, the second leg, and the closed end define a recess having a drug release opening opposite the closed end; and a drug coating disposed on the first leg, the second leg, and the closed end within the recess. The drug release opening is sized to release a drug from the drug coating at a predetermined drug elution rate.

    摘要: Methods and apparatus are disclosed for loading a therapeutic substance or drug within a lumenal space of a hollow wire having a plurality of side openings along a length thereof that forms a hollow drug-eluting stent with a plurality of side drug delivery openings. Loading a drug within the lumenal space of the hollow stent includes a drug filling step, in which the drug is mixed with a solvent or dispersion medium. The lumenal space may be filled with the drug solution or suspension in a reverse fill process and/or a forward fill process. After the drug filling step, a solvent or dispersion medium extracting step is performed to extract the solvent or dispersion medium from within the lumenal space such that only the drug remains within the hollow stent. A stent cleaning step may be performed to an exterior surface of the hollow stent.

    摘要: Disclosed are medical devices having textured surfaces and biocompatible coatings disposed thereon. The textured surfaces allow for durable coatings to be applied to the medical device without a previous pre-coating having been applied. The biocompatible coating can further comprise a bioactive agent.
