  • Processes for making crush recoverable polymer scaffolds
    Patent number: 9642730
    Abstract: Methods for making scaffolds for delivery via a balloon catheter are described. The scaffold, after being deployed by the balloon, provides a crush recovery of about 90% after the diameter of the scaffold has been pinched or crushed by 50%. The scaffold structure has patterns that include an asymmetric or symmetric closed cell, and links connecting such closed cells.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: April 1, 2016
    Date of Patent: May 9, 2017
    Assignee: ABBOTT CARDIOVASCULAR SYSTEMS INC.
