  • Surface treatments for vascular stents and methods thereof
    Patent number: 9597434
    Abstract: Surface modified medical devices with nanotubes and polyelectrolyte multilayers, methods of promoting endothelialization, and methods of modifying a medical device surface are disclosed. Nanotubes may be formed on the surface of the medical device and may further be coated with polyelectrolyte multilayers of a polycation and a polyanion. The surface modification is characterized by a nanopattern on the surface of the medical device, with biomimetic properties.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: April 14, 2014
    Date of Patent: March 21, 2017
    Assignee: Colorado State University Research Foundation
    Inventors: Matthew Kipper, Ketul Popat, Melissa Reynolds, Victoria Leszczak, Raimundo Romero

  • METHODS FOR COATING BONE ALLOGRAFTS WITH PERIOSTEUM-MIMETIC TISSUE ENGINEERING SCAFFOLDS
    Publication number: 20150086602
    Abstract: Methods of coating bone surfaces and coated bones comprising a coating comprising (a) a porous polysaccharide scaffold and/or a plurality of polysaccharide nanofibers; and (b) a polyelectrolyte multilayer composition, are disclosed. The methods of coating bone surfaces and the coated bones disclosed provide a biomimetic periosteum to compensate for periosteum lost in preparing bone grafts, and the coated bone grafts, including allografts, restore lost osteogenic and osteoinductive qualities and improve clinical outcomes.
