  • Nucleation of drug delivery balloons to provide improved crystal size and density
    Patent number: 10080821
    Abstract: Drug delivery balloons have densely packed crystals of small particle size of the drug thereon. An amorphous drug coating is applied to a balloon surface and annealed to provide the crystals. The balloon surface is nucleated to induce formation of drug crystals in the annealing step to provide the crystals in high density with small size.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: June 14, 2010
    Date of Patent: September 25, 2018
    Assignee: BOSTON SCIENTIFIC SCIMED, INC.
