  • COATING FOR IMPLANTABLE MEDICAL DEVICES, METHOD FOR PRODUCING SAME, AND IMPLANTABLE MEDICAL DEVICE
    Publication number: 20210268146
    Abstract: The invention relates to a coating for implantable medical devices. The coating contains a layer complex which comprises at least one polyelectrolyte multilayer and at least one layer of functionalized nanodiamonds. The at least one polyelectrolyte multilayer consists of polyelectrolyte monolayers which are charged positively and negatively in an alternating manner. Additionally, the functionalized nanodiamonds are functionalized with at least one bioactive agent. The invention additionally relates to a method for producing such a coating for implantable medical devices, to the use of such a coating, and to an implantable medical device which has such a coating.

  • METHOD AND DEVICE FOR TESTING TREATMENTS WHICH INTRODUCE ENERGY INTO OBJECTS
    Publication number: 20130252340
    Abstract: The method comprises the following steps: bonding at least one chemical, optically luminescent compound (3) onto at least one indicator element (6) for testing the treatments (14), wherein at least one luminescence property of the chemical compound (3) can be changed; assigning at least one indicator element (6) to the object (1); wherein the indicator element (6) and the object (1) are simultaneously subjected to the same conditions of the energy-introducing treatment (14); changing the luminescence property of the chemical compound (3), wherein the level of the change to the luminescence property depends upon the energy-introducing treatment (14); irradiating (13) the chemical compound (3) with electromagnetic radiation directed onto the indicator (6) for excitation of the luminescence during the energy-introducing treatment or following the energy-introducing treatment (14).
