Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20100096781Method Of Fabricating An Implantable Medical Device Using Gel Extrusion And Charge Induced Orientation - The invention provides a method of manufacturing a polymeric implantable medical device using gel extrusion of high molecular weight polymers or charge-induced orientation to avoid heat degradation of the polymer that might occur during conventional heat extrusion.04-22-2010
20100289191METHODS OF FABRICATING STENTS WITH ENHANCED FRACTURE TOUGHNESS - Stents and methods of manufacturing a stents with enhanced fracture toughness are disclosed.11-18-2010
20110009948Fiber Reinforced Composite Stents - Polymeric composite stents reinforced with fibers for implantation into a bodily lumen are disclosed.01-13-2011
20110028072Surface Treatment of a Polymeric Stent - Methods of treating the polymeric surfaces of a stent with a fluid including a solvent for the surface polymer are disclosed.02-03-2011
20110056350METHOD TO PREVENT STENT DAMAGE CAUSED BY LASER CUTTING - Apparatus, method and system for cutting a polymeric stent including the use of a polymeric mandrel as a laser shielding device. The polymeric mandrel is allowed to roll freely within a polymeric tube that is cut into a polymeric stent.03-10-2011
20110066223Bioabsorbable Stent With Time Dependent Structure And Properties - A bioabsorbable polymeric stent with time dependent structure and properties and methods of treating a diseased blood vessel with the bioabsorable polymeric stent are disclosed. The structure and properties of the stent change with time and allow the vessel to be restored to a natural unstented state03-17-2011
20110066225Bioabsorbable Stent With Time Dependent Structure And Properties And Regio-Selective Degradation - A bioabsorbable polymeric stent with time dependent structure and properties and methods of treating a diseased blood vessel with the bioabsorable polymeric stent are disclosed. The structure and properties of the stent change with time and allow the vessel to be restored to a natural unstented state. The bioabsorbable stent loses mechanical integrity in a controlled manner due to modification of selected structural elements.03-17-2011
20110112627Stents with Enhanced Fracture Toughness - Stents and methods of manufacturing a stents with enhanced fracture toughness are disclosed.05-12-2011
