  • Composition for coating an implantable prosthesis
    Publication number: 20040047978
    Abstract: The present invention provides a method of forming a coating onto a surface of an implantable prosthesis, such as an expandable stent, a synthetic vascular graft, or some other implantable device. A composition comprising a therapeutic substance and a fluid in which the therapeutic substance has limited solubility, such that the therapeutic substance is suspended as particles in the composition, is applied to a surface of the prosthesis. The fluid is removed from the prosthesis to form a coating. A coating for a prosthesis produced in accordance with the method is also provided.

  • Method of forming a therapeutic coating onto a surface of an implantable prosthesis
    Patent number: 6451373
    Abstract: A method of coating an implantable prosthesis by applying a composition including a therapeutic substance and a fluid to the prosthesis and removing the fluid is disclosed. The fluid is not capable of significantly dissolving the therapeutic substance. A second fluid in which the therapeutic substance is soluble may be further included in the composition. Methods of providing the composition and a roughened polymeric primer layer are also disclosed.
