Filed:

Dec 11, 1992

Appl. No.:

7/989105

Inventors:

Pallassana V. Narayanan - Davie FL
Stephen M. Rowland - Miami FL
Kimberly D. Stanley - Miami FL

Assignee:

Cordis Corporation - Miami Lakes FL

International Classification:

A61F 200
A61M 2300

US Classification:

623 1

Abstract:

A treatment for metallic surfaces and devices having metallic surfaces is described. A film of heptafluorobutylmethacrylate (HFBMA) is applied to a surface by radiofrequency (RF) plasma deposition and subsequently treated with a biologically active agent. A water vapor RF plasma treatment of the HFBMA coating provides reactive groups thereon which can covalently bond to the biologically active agent. Alternatively, a spacer group can be bonded to the activated HFBMA and the biologically active agent can then be bonded to the spacer group. Devices coated according to the invention possess enhanced biocompatibility and the HFBMA coatings are durable even under severe crimping and expansion conditions.

International Classification:

A61M 2500

US Classification:

604269

Abstract:

Polymeric surfaces of medical devices or components of medical devices are provided that have enhanced biocompatibility properties. The polymeric surface presents an anti-thrombogenic, fibrinolytic or thrombolytic interface with body fluids such as blood during implantation or medical procedures. The biocompatibility enhancing agent is secured to the polymeric substrate by a spacer molecule which is covalently bound to the polymeric substrate which had been subjected to radiofrequency plasma treatment with a water vapor medium.

US Classification:

Abstract:

Metallic surfaces of medical devices or components of medical devices are provided that have enhanced biocompatibility properties. The surfaces are prepared by a two-step procedure including covalently linking an organosilane having amine reactive sites with the surface of the metallic member, typically through a metal oxide thereof. Thereafter, a biologically active agent is covalently linked to the organosilane coating. The two-step process is particularly advantageous for preparing medical devices in the form of stents which need to be bent and flexed during implantation procedures.
