  • In-line bubble removal mechanism
    Patent number: 8852668
    Abstract: A mechanism for preventing or inhibiting bubbles of dissolved gasses from outgassing due to phase change phenomenon of the pressure differential inside a liquid-filled incompressible line can be provided. This mechanism may be useful in a variety of applications, such as coating of stents and scaffolds.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: March 2, 2011
    Date of Patent: October 7, 2014
