A method and apparatus for the provision of a coating for application to a medical device results in a medical device having a bio-absorbable coating. The coating includes a bio-absorbable carrier component. In addition to the bio-absorbable carrier component, a therapeutic agent component and solvent can also be provided. The solvent is removed from the coating before the coating is applied to the medical device. The coated medical device is implantable in a patient to effect controlled delivery of the coating, including the therapeutic agent, to the patient.

The invention relates to the field of aluminum alloy surface treatment, in particular relates to an environmentally-friendly corrosion-resistant chromium-free chemical conversion liquid and an application thereof in an environmentally-friendly corrosion-resistant chromium-free chemical conversion film with aluminum alloy coating adhesion for ships, and solves the problems of incapability of meeting the requirements on corrosion resistance and coating adhesion in the current environmentally-friendly chemical conversion treating process. The prepared chemical conversion film has excellent corrosion resistance and coating adhesion, is convenient in construction and can be used for substituting for a traditional chromium-containing chemical conversion and phosphate treatment process. The environmentally-friendly corrosion-resistant chromium-free chemical conversion liquid mainly comprises the components of silane, corrosion inhibition components and a solvent. The chromium-free chemical conversion film construction modes comprise dipping, roller painting and spraying, and the curing modes comprise natural curing and heating curing. The environmentally-friendly corrosion-resistant chromium-free chemical conversion film in the invention has excellent corrosion resistance and coating adhesion, can be used for substituting for a traditional chromium-containing chemical conversion and phosphate treatment process, and is applicable to aluminum alloys for ships such as 5xxx and 6xxx series aluminum alloys.

A metallic composite coating, and methods for forming same, for an implantable medical device is disclosed. The composite coating comprises at least one metal or metallic tie layer formed on the surface of the device, followed by an electroless electrochemical cladding of one or more additional layers over the tie layer. One or more therapeutic or biologically active agents are co-deposited with at least one of the electroless electrochemical claddings.

A medical device having a lubricious coating on at least a section of the medical device, and a method of coating a medical device, the lubricious coating being a network of a hydrophilic compound cross-linked to itself and interlocked with a network of a cross-linked polymerized multifunctional monomer or polymer. The coating can include one or more agents which provide enhanced adhesion of the coating on the device, or which provide faster hydration of the coating and / or improved lubricity. Additionally, the lubricious coating can be provided with one or more therapeutic or diagnostic agents, and in one embodiment the agent elutes relatively quickly in a concentrated release from the lubricious coating upon hydration of the coating.

The invention discloses a making method of antibiotic product of surface through physical gas-phase sediment technique, which comprises the following steps: plating antibiotic target or evaporating material on the base surface to form antibiotic coater through physical gas-phase sediment technique; allocating the antibiotic target or evaporated material with one or more component of Ti, Zn, Ca, Si, Mg, Zr, Cd, As, Sb, Se, Ce, Re, Cu, Ag, Pb, Hg, Co, Ni, Al, Fe and their oxide, sulfate, nitride and carbonate; aerating O2, N2, NH3, CH4, C2H6 or H2S as reacting gas.

A CMC article and process for producing the article to have a layer on its surface that protects a reinforcement material within the article from damage. The method entails providing a body containing a ceramic reinforcement material in a matrix material that contains a precursor of a ceramic matrix material. A fraction of the reinforcement material is present and possibly exposed at a surface of the body. The body surface is then provided with a surface layer formed of a slurry containing a particulate material but lacking the reinforcement material of the body. The body and surface layer are heated to form the article by converting the precursor within the body to form the ceramic matrix material in which the reinforcement material is contained, and by converting the surface layer to form the protective layer that covers any fraction of the reinforcement material exposed at the body surface.

A multi-layer drug coated medical device such as for example an expandable vascular drug eluting stent is formed by vacuum pulse spray techniques wherein each layer is irradiated to improve adhesion and / or drug elution properties prior to formation of subsequent layers. Layers may be homogeneous or of diverse drugs. Layers may incorporate a non-polymer elution-retarding material. Layers may alternate with one or more layers of non-polymer elution-retarding materials. Polymer binders and / or matrices are not used in the formation of the coatings, yet the pure drug coatings have good mechanical and elution rate properties. Systems, methods and medical device articles are disclosed.

Self-ligating orthodontic brackets with archwire retainers formed of materials exhibiting shape memory. Each bracket which includes a base from which extends two spaced and opposing pairs of tie wings each pair of which define an archwire guide slot therebetween. The retainers include at least one flange to retain an archwire within the archwire guide slot but which is yieldable to permit insertion and / or removal of the archwire relative to the archwire guide slots. Portions of the brackets and / or retainer may be coated to reduce friction between the archwire and the bracket and to promote aesthetics and overall bracket appearance.
