Provided is a coated implantable medical device, comprising: a substrate; and a coating disposed on said substrate, wherein said coating comprises at least one polymer and at least one pharmaceutical agent in a therapeutically desirable morphology and/or at least one active biological agent and optionally, one or more pharmaceutical carrying agents; wherein substantially all of pharmaceutical agent and/or active biological agent remains within said coating and on said substrate until the implantable device is deployed at an intervention site inside the body of a subject and wherein upon deployment of said medical device in the body of said subject a portion of said pharmaceutical agent and/or active biological agent is delivered at said intervention site along with at least a portion of said polymer and/or a at least a portion of said pharmaceutical carrying agents.

Drug delivery medical device

A method for depositing a coating comprising a polymer and pharmaceutical agent on a substrate, comprising the following steps: discharging at least one pharmaceutical agent in a therapeutically desirable morphology in dry powder form through a first orifice; discharging at least one polymer in dry powder form through a second orifice; depositing the polymer and/or pharmaceutical particles onto said substrate, wherein an electrical potential is maintained between the substrate and the pharmaceutical and/or polymer particles, thereby forming said coating; and sintering said coating under conditions that do not substantially modify the morphology of said pharmaceutical agent.

Polymer coatings containing drug powder of controlled morphology

A method for preparing a laminate coronary stent comprising: providing a stent framework; and depositing a plurality of layers on said stent framework to form said laminate coronary stent; wherein at least one of said layers comprises a bioabsorbable polymer.

Stents having biodegradable layers

A coated coronary stent, comprising: a stainless steel sent framework coated with a primer layer of Parylene C; and a rapamycin-polyrner coating having substantially uniform thickness disposed on the stent framework, wherein the rapamycin-polymer coating comprises polybutyl methacrylate (PBMA), polyethylene-co-vinyl acetate (PEVA) and rapamycin, wherein substantially all of the rapamycin in the coating is in amorphous form and substantially uniformly dispersed within the rapamycin-polymer coating.

Stent with polymer coating containing amorphous rapamycin

Provided herein are devices comprising a stent; and a coating on said stent comprising a polymer and an active agent, wherein the active agent comprises at least one of: extracellular matrix and an extracellular matrix component Provided herein are methods of preparing a device comprising a stent and a coating on said stent; said method comprising: providing a stent; and forming a plurality of layers on said stent; wherein the coating comprises a polymer and at least one of said layers comprises one or more active agents; wherein at least a portion of the active agent comprises at least one of extracellular matrix and an extracellular matrix component
