  • Polymer coating for medical devices
    Patent number: 7419709
    Abstract: Coatings are provided in which surfaces may be activated by covalently bonding a silane derivative to the metal surface, covalently bonding a lactone polymer to the silane derivative by in situ ring opening polymerization, and depositing at least one layer of a polyester on the bonded lactone. Biologically active agents may be deposited with the polyester layers. Such coated surfaces may be useful in medical devices, in particular stents.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: November 28, 2006
    Date of Patent: September 2, 2008
    Assignee: CV Therapeutics, Inc.
    Inventors: Frantisek Rypacek, Monika Lapcikova, Ludka Machova
  • POLYMER COATING FOR MEDICAL DEVICES
    Publication number: 20080160166
    Abstract: Coatings are provided in which surfaces may be activated by covalently bonding a silane derivative to the metal surface, covalently bonding a lactone polymer to the silane derivative by in situ ring opening polymerization, and depositing at least one layer of a polyester on the bonded lactone. Biologically active agents may be deposited with the polyester layers. Such coated surfaces may be useful in medical devices, in particular stents.
