Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20090053391Method Of Coating A Drug-Releasing Layer Onto A Substrate - This invention relates to processes for coating a substrate with a drug-containing layer in which the microstructure of the resulting dry drug reservoir layer is not a function of solvent removal.02-26-2009
20110027188Methods, Compositions and Devices for Treating Lesioned Sites Using Bioabsorbable Carriers - An implantable medical device is disclosed having a plurality of smaller particles contained in a plurality of larger particles and configured to be released from the larger particles when the device is implanted in a patient. The smaller particles and the larger particles are made of bioabsorbable metal, glass or ceramic. A substance can be associated with the smaller particles. The larger particles can be embedded within at least a portion of the device.02-03-2011

Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20100222872Methods, Compositions and Devices for Treating Lesioned Sites Using Bioabsorbable Carriers - Methods and compositions for the sustained release of treatment agents to treat an occluded blood vessel and affected tissue and/or organs are disclosed. Porous or non-porous bioabsorbable glass, metal or ceramic bead, rod or fiber particles can be loaded with a treatment agent, and optionally an image-enhancing agent, and coated with a sustained-release coating for delivery to an occluded blood vessel and affected tissue and/or organs by a delivery device. Implantable medical devices manufactured with coatings including the particles or embedded within the medical device are additionally disclosed.09-02-2010
20100226955POLYMER FOR CREATING HEMOCOMPATIBLE SURFACE - A polymer comprising a phosphoryl choline moiety(ies), a composition comprising the polymer and optionally a bioactive agent, an implantable device such as a DES or a non-implantable device such as an angioplasty balloon comprising thereon a coating comprising the polymer and optionally a bioactive agent, and a method of using the device for the treatment of a disorder in a human being are provided.09-09-2010

Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20080287911CATHETER WITH LAMINAR FLOW DRUG DELIVERY PROPERTIES - Catheters with laminar flow bioactive agent delivery properties and methods of using for treating or preventing vascular disease are disclosed.11-20-2008
20090118700METHOD FOR TREATING CORONARY VESSELS - A method is provided including introducing a delivery device through a vessel wall to a treatment site within one of a peri-adventitial space or a pericardium adjacent a coronary blood vessel and delivering a treatment agent through the delivery device. The treatment agent is delivered through the delivery device according to conditions that hydraulically dissect tissue planes within the peri-adventitial space. A kit is provided including a delivery device having a needle to be advanced through one of an epicardium of a heart and a wall of a coronary blood vessel into a peri-adventitial space and a treatment agent comprising particles having an average diameter on the order of 15 microns or more to be delivered through the delivery device into the peri-adventitial space.05-07-2009
20100004627NEEDLE CATHETER WITH AN ANGLED DISTAL TIP LUMEN - A needle catheter configured for injecting an agent into a wall of a patient's body cavity, which directs a needle from the distal tip of the catheter into the wall of the body cavity at an angle relative to the axis of the shaft. The resulting angled injection pathway improves the retention of the agent in the body cavity wall, while keeping a distal section of the catheter substantially perpendicular to the body cavity wall for optimal push against the tissue at the injection site.01-07-2010
