    摘要: The present invention provides a catheter and catheter assembly for delivering micronized therapeutic agents to a target site in the body and, in particular, to a target site in the heart. The micronized therapeutic agents are delivered in aerosol form or dry powder form. The present invention also provides a method of delivering micronized therapeutic agents to a target site in the body by placing the therapeutic agents in a catheter, positioning the catheter in the target site, and exposing the therapeutic agents to an energizing mechanism sufficient to create supersonic flow to carry the therapeutic agents from a stationary state in the catheter to a mobile state towards the target site.

    摘要: Embodiments of the present invention regard the delivery of therapeutic. One such apparatus may comprise multiple, independently-activated, injection devices for the delivery of therapeutic or other substances. This apparatus may include a first catheter; a second catheter in the first catheter and a multiple delivery member injection device. This multiple delivery member may include an expandable member and a plurality of injection elements. A third catheter may be positioned in the second catheter. This third catheter may have a distal end connected to a wall of the expandable member and a plurality of filling tubes connected to an distal end of the third catheter. In some of the embodiments each of the injection elements may hold a pressurized therapeutic prior to release of the therapeutic.

    摘要: Methods and apparatus for coating at least a portion of the surface of medical devices using an injection coating device are disclosed. In one embodiment, the invention includes a coating method wherein an orifice of the injection coating device is placed adjacent a vertically positioned medical device, coating material is ejected from the orifice onto the medical device, and the coating material gravitationally flows downward coating the medical device. In another embodiment, an orifice of an injection coating device is positioned adjacent a horizontally positioned medical device to gravitationally flow and deposit coating material onto the medical device. These methods may be used to apply one or more coating materials, simultaneously or in sequence. In another embodiment, multiple injection coating devices may be utilized. In certain embodiments of the invention, the coating materials include therapeutic or biologically active agents.
