Wendy J. Shaw has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • System and process for formation of a time-released, drug-eluting transferable coating
    Patent number: 10464100
    Abstract: A system and method are disclosed for coating surfaces of expandable medical devices with composite coatings. Coatings are composed of various materials including, e.g., polymers and drugs. Transfer of the coatings within a patient or other host forms a drug-eluting coating that delivers time-released drugs over time for treatment of a medical condition.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: May 30, 2012
    Date of Patent: November 5, 2019
    Assignees: Micell Technologies, Inc., Battelle Memorial Institute
    Inventors: Dean W. Matson, Clement R. Yonker, John L. Fulton, George S. Deverman, Barbara J. Tarasevich, Wendy J. Shaw, Leonard S. Fifield, Krys Wallace, C. Douglas Taylor, James B. McClain

  • Medical implants and methods of making medical implants
    Patent number: 8834913
    Abstract: A medical implant device having a substrate with an oxidized surface and a silane derivative coating covalently bonded to the oxidized surface. A bioactive agent is covalently bonded to the silane derivative coating. An implantable stent device including a stent core having an oxidized surface with a layer of silane derivative covalently bonded thereto. A spacer layer comprising polyethylene glycol (PEG) is covalently bonded to the layer of silane derivative and a protein is covalently bonded to the PEG. A method of making a medical implant device including providing a substrate having a surface, oxidizing the surface and reacting with derivitized silane to form a silane coating covalently bonded to the surface. A bioactive agent is then covalently bonded to the silane coating. In particular instances, an additional coating of bio-absorbable polymer and/or pharmaceutical agent is deposited over the bioactive agent.
