Method of manufacturing a medicated porous metal prosthesis |
摘要 |
A method of manufacturing a medicated prosthesis such as a stent. The method includes forming a stent out of porous metal and loading a therapeutic agent into the pores of the metal. In one embodiment the stent is formed from a sintered metal wire, sheet, or tube and can include adding a coating to the stent. When the stent is implanted into the vasculature of a patient, the therapeutic agent in the stent dissipates into the tissue of the vasculature proximate the stent. <IMAGE> |
