Abstract: A method of forming an electrospun prosthetic valve includes utilizing a rotatable and angularly adjustable prosthetic valve mold. The prosthetic valve mold is set to a first angle. The prosthetic valve mold is rotated at a first rotational velocity and a first layer of electrospun fibers is deposited on the prosthetic valve mold. The prosthetic valve mold is stopped and a frame is positioned over the first layer. The prosthetic valve mold is set to a second angle. The prosthetic valve mold is rotated at a second velocity and a second layer of electrospun fibers is deposited on an outer surface of the first layer and an outer surface of the frame.

Abstract: The present disclosure in a broad aspect provides for diazeniumdiolated phosphorylcholine polymers and associated methods for achieving nitric oxide release. The present polymers have superior biocompatibility and are useful for coating or fabricating medical devices such as a vascular stent.

Abstract: Described herein are hydrogen sulfide (H2S) generating polymers and polymer systems suitable for coating or forming medical devices and methods for making and using the same. More specifically, described are H2S generating polymers comprising at least one thioamide group. The H2S generating polymers can provide controlled site-specific release of H2S once implanted at or within the target surgical site by hydrolysis of the thioamide group in physiological media. The H2S generating polymers can be coated onto a medical device, formed into a medical device or combined with one or more other polymers to form a polymer system. Also described are methods of treating restenosis and inflammation and promoting vasodilation utilizing such medical devices.

Abstract: Apparatus and methods for distributing print jobs. A print job is generated at an application node of a network, and has associated therewith print parameters. The print job is routed to a distribution node on the network. The parameters are then parsed from the generated print job and the print job parameterized with predetermined metrics that are a function of at least one of the parsed parameters. The parameterized print job is then routed to a destination device on a destination node on the network.
