| 20090112310 | Nanoporous Drug Release Structure for Drug Elute Instruments and the Preparation Method Thereof - The present invention relates to a nanoporous configuration for drug release used in a drug-eluting device and its preparation, employing acid corrosion or anode oxidation to prepare pores, or employing acid corrosion to prepare pores firstly, then employing anode oxidation or micro-arc oxidation combined with micro-arc nitridation to prepare single sized or two sized or multiple sized nanopores, as well as a uniform size distributed or two or more nonuniform size distributed in pore diameter or pore depth h nanopores on the raw material of device body directly. The preparation process includes: {circle around (1)} Pre-treating the surface of the device body, {circle around (2)} Preparing pore, {circle around (3)} Post-treating the surface of the device body, {circle around (4)}preparing drug, {circle around (5)} Spraying drug etc. The nanoporous configuration lowers the risk of forming thrombus after the drug-delivery device with polymer carrier is implanted into the tissue. The device also controls the release rate of drug efficiently and lowers the incidence of restenosis significantly. | 04-30-2009 |
