  • Balloon catheter for delivering therapeutic agents
    Patent number: 7115299
    Abstract: A method for making a drug delivery device, wherein a composition is applied onto a porous inflatable member, the porous inflatable member integrated at a distal end of a catheter-based device, and the composition including a coating material, a first fluid and a second fluid, wherein the second fluid is a poorer solvent for the coating material than the first fluid, and wherein the second fluid evaporates less rapidly than the first fluid.

  • Suture coating and tubing fluid
    Patent number: 5584857
    Abstract: A coating and tubing fluid for sutures, especially gut sutures, is provided. The coating composition includes linseed oil, an organic solvent and a catalyst. The tubing fluid includes water, a softening agent, a C.sub.2 -C.sub.4 alcohol and a lubricant of fatty acids, fatty acid alcohols and/or triglycerides of fatty acids. Gut sutures coated with the coating composition may be stored or packaged in the tubing fluid to provide sutures with improved flexibility, pliability, run-down performance and superior resistance to fraying and breaking.
