  • Publication number: 20110262621
    Abstract: A beneficial agent can be loaded as discrete droplets on a prosthesis, such as a stent. Relative movement between the prosthesis and a dispensing element can be controlled to define a dispensing path in a raster format. The discrete droplets can be dispensed from a dispensing element when the dispensing element is detected to be in alignment with a cavity formed in the prosthesis such that the discrete droplets are deposited in the cavity. The discrete droplets can be dispensed from a dispensing element when the dispensing element is detected to be in alignment with a structural element of the prosthesis such that the discrete droplets are deposited on the structural element.

  • Patent number: 8001926
    Abstract: An interventional device for delivery of beneficial agent to a lumen and methods of loading and manufacture of the same, which include a prosthesis loaded with beneficial agent to provide a controlled dosage concentration of beneficial agent to the lumen. The beneficial agent is loaded onto the prosthesis by a fluid-dispenser having a dispensing element capable of dispensing the beneficial agent in discrete droplets, each droplet having a controlled trajectory. The method of loading beneficial agent includes dispensing beneficial agent in a raster format and/or an off-axis format along a dispensing path.

  • Patent number: 6478652
    Abstract: A two-legged body includes at least two legs, and oscillation element and connecting element for the mutual coupling of the legs and the oscillation element, wherein the legs are pivotable in relation to the connecting element and during operation undergo a reciprocating angular displacement in relation to the connecting element, depending on the oscillation element. The oscillation element includes at least two springs for the generation of antagonistic forces, which springs each are coupled at one side with a leg, and together with the mass present in the body they are able to form a vibrating mass-spring system. The spring stiffness of at least one spring is adjustable.
