Patent number: 9402936Abstract: A medical device includes an alloy having a microstructure that provides desirable properties. The alloy can be a eutectoid composition of e.g. titanium as a major constituent and any combination of iridium, platinum, chromium, gold, silver, bismuth, manganese, palladium, cobalt, copper, iron, and/or nickel as a minor constituent, wherein the alloy forms at least a portion of the medical device.Type: GrantFiled: July 19, 2007Date of Patent: August 2, 2016Assignee: Boston Scientific SciMed, Inc.Inventor: Matthew Cambronne

Patent number: 8895099Abstract: Endoprostheses and methods of making endoprostheses are disclosed. For example, endoprostheses are described that include an endoprosthesis body, a biodegradable metallic tie layer, and a polymer coating about the endoprosthesis body. The biodegradable tie layer and the polymer coating can have a high peel strength from the body.Type: GrantFiled: March 18, 2011Date of Patent: November 25, 2014Assignee: Boston Scientific Scimed, Inc.Inventors: Liliana Atanasoska, Angela Kostrewa, Matthew Cambronne, James Q. Feng, Rajesh Radhakrishnan

Publication number: 20130238081Abstract: An endoprosthesis can have a member that includes molybdenum and at least one metal selected from the group consisting of titanium, rhenium, yttrium, palladium, rhodium, ruthenium, tungsten, tantalum, iridium, zirconium, hafnium, niobium, chromium, and combinations thereof. The member can have a microstructure characterized by: (a) a molybdenum-rich base region comprising at least 50 weight percent molybdenum, (b) a surface region comprising at least one metal selected from the group consisting of titanium, rhenium, yttrium, palladium, rhodium, ruthenium, tungsten, tantalum, iridium, zirconium, hafnium, niobium, chromium, and combinations thereof, and (c) an inter-diffusion region in which the concentration of molybdenum decreases in the thickness direction from the molybdenum-rich base region to the surface region of the member.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 18, 2013Publication date: September 12, 2013Applicant: Boston Scientific Scimed, Inc.Inventors: Jonathan S. Stinson, Matthew Cambronne

Patent number: 7780798Abstract: Medical devices, such as endoprostheses, and methods of making the devices are disclosed. The endoprostheses comprise a tubular member capable of maintaining patency of a bodily vessel. The tubular member includes a mixture of at least two compositions, where the presence of the second composition gives the mixture a greater hardness than that of the first composition alone. The first composition includes less than about 25 weight percent chromium, less than about 7 weight percent molybdenum, from about 10 to about 35 weight percent nickel, and iron. The second composition is different from the first and is present from about 0.1 weight percent to about 5 weight percent of the mixture.Type: GrantFiled: March 29, 2007Date of Patent: August 24, 2010Assignees: Boston Scientific Scimed, Inc., CRS Holdings, Inc.Inventors: Jonathan S. Stinson, Matthew Cambronne, Richard B. Frank, Richard A. Gleixner, James E. Heilmann
