| 20090232865 | End-Capped Poly(Ester Amide) Copolymers - This invention relates to poly(ester amide)s (PEAs) comprising inactivated terminal amino and carboxyl groups, methods of synthesizing the inactivated PEAs and uses for them in the treatment of vascular diseases. | 09-17-2009 |
| 20100057198 | Abluminal, Multilayer Coating Constructs for Drug-Delivery Stents - Implantable medical devices may include at least one structural element having an abluminal side, luminal side, and sidewalls between the abluminal and luminal sides. The coating may include at least two continuous coating layers. In some embodiments, the luminal side, and all or a majority of the sidewalls are free of at least two of the coating layers. | 03-04-2010 |
| 20110022163 | Implantable Medical Device Comprising Copolymer Of L-Lactide With Improved Fracture Toughness - The present invention relates to implantable medical devices comprising a L-lactide-constitutional unit-containing copolymer having a wt % percent crystallinity of 40% or less. | 01-27-2011 |
| 20110046606 | Catheter injectable depot compositions and uses thereof - Catheter injectable depot compositions are provided that include a bioerodible, biocompatible polymer, a solvent having miscibility in water of less than or equal to 7 wt. % at 25° C., in an amount effective to plasticize the polymer and form a gel therewith, a thixotropic agent, and a beneficial agent. The solvent comprises an aromatic alcohol, an ester of an aromatic acid, an aromatic ketone, or mixtures thereof. The compositions are have substantially improved the shear thinning behavior and reduced injection force, rendering the compositions readily implanted beneath a patient's body surface by injection. | 02-24-2011 |
| 20110062638 | Controlling Crystalline Morphology Of A Bioabsorbable Stent - Methods to expand polymer tubing with desirable or optimum morphology and mechanical properties for stent manufacture and fabrication of a stent therefrom are disclosed. | 03-17-2011 |
| 20110239939 | STENT COATING APPARATUS USING FOCUSED ACOUSTIC ENERGY - An apparatus for coating a stent includes an optical feedback system used to align a transducer with a stent strut. Once alignment is achieved, the transducer causes a coating to be ejected onto the stent strut and the transducer is moved along the stent strut to coat the stent strut. | 10-06-2011 |
| 20110244112 | STENT COATING METHOD - A stent is coated by ejecting droplets of a coating substance from a reservoir containing a coating substance. A reservoir housing can have a plurality of reservoir compartments. A transducer is used to eject the coating substance from the reservoir. Energy from the transducer is focused at a meniscus or an interface between the coating substance and another coating substance in the reservoir. | 10-06-2011 |
| 20110270387 | Implantable Medical Devices Comprising Poly[L-Lactide-Co-(3,6-Dialkyl-1,4-Dioxane-2,5-Dione)] - This invention is directed to implantable medical device comprising a polymeric composition comprising poly[L-lactide-co-(3,6-dialkyl-1,4-dioxane-2,5-dione)], alone or as a blend with one or more polymers selected from the group consisting of poly(L-lactide) and poly(3,6-dialkyl-1,4-dioxane-2,5-dione). | 11-03-2011 |
