Coatings for implantable devices or endoluminal prosthesis, such as stents, are provided, including a method of forming the coatings. The coatings can be used for the delivery of an active ingredient or a combination of active ingredients.

Coating for Implantable Devices and a Method of Forming the Same

A coating for a stent and methods for coating a stent are provided. The coating may be used for the sustained delivery of an active ingredient or a combination of active ingredients.

Coating for a Stent and a Method of Forming the Same

A drug eluting medical device is disclosed. The device includes a barrier layer for reducing the rate of release of a drug.

Barriers for polymer-coated implantable medical devices and methods for making the same

A membrane that reduces the rate at which a therapeutic substance is released from an implantable medical device, such as a stent, is disclosed.

Rate-reducing membrane for release of an agent

Methods of coating an implantable device and a system for performing such methods are disclosed. An embodiment of the method includes applying a coating substance to the surface of an implantable device, and rotating the implantable device in a centrifuge. The method can uniformly coat the implantable device with the coating substance and to remove unwanted accumulations of coating substance entrained between struts or crevices in the implantable device body. This system is applicable to methods for coating intraluminal stents, synthetic grafts, and stent coverings with therapeutic compositions comprising therapeutic agents mixed with a polymeric matrix and a solvent.
