Patent number: 8361591Abstract: An implantable medical device including a plurality of components on a substrate, and a biocompatible multi-layer coating applied at least in part by vapor deposition to conform to and sealingly cover at least a portion of the components and/or the substrate. The coating is applied in at least two sets of layers, wherein each set has at least one layer formed by dissociation of a polymeric precursor and then deposition of that precursor, and another layer is a biocompatible liquid.Type: GrantFiled: August 11, 2010Date of Patent: January 29, 2013Assignee: Medos International SarlInventors: Andreas Hogg, Herbert Keppner, Jerome Charmet, Thierry Aellen, Juergen Burger

Patent number: 8313811Abstract: An implantable medical device including a plurality of components on a substrate, and a biocompatible multi-layer polymeric coating applied by vapor deposition to conform to and sealingly cover at least a portion of the components and/or the substrate. The coating is applied in at least two pairs of layers, wherein each pair has one layer formed by dissociation of a precursor and then simple deposition of that precursor, and the other layer is formed by at least one of plasma dissociation and excitation of the precursor to form a plasma-enhanced precursor, and then deposition of the plasma-enhanced precursor.Type: GrantFiled: August 11, 2010Date of Patent: November 20, 2012Assignee: Medos International S.A.R.L.Inventors: Andreas Hogg, Herbert Keppner, Thierry Aellen, Juergen Burger

Patent number: 8313819Abstract: An implantable medical device including a plurality of components on a substrate, and a biocompatible multi-layer coating applied by vapor deposition to conform to and sealingly cover at least a portion of the components and/or the substrate. The coating is applied in at least two sets, each set having first, second and third layers. At least one of the first, second and third layers consist essentially of a polymer such as parylene and at least one of the other two layers of the set consist essentially of inorganic material such that each layer differs in at least one diffusion barrier property from the other layers in the set and adds to an overall barrier effect of the coating.Type: GrantFiled: August 11, 2010Date of Patent: November 20, 2012Assignee: Medos International S.A.R.L.Inventors: Andreas Hogg, Herbert Keppner, Thierry Aellen, Juergen Burger
