METHOD FOR IMPROVING STENT RETENTION AND DEPLOYMENT CHARACTERISTICS |
摘要 |
Medical devices and methods for making, preparing, and using medical devices are disclosed. An example method may include disposing an implantable medical device along an outer surface of a balloon. The implantable medical device may include a polymeric stent having a plurality of openings formed therein. The implantable medical device may be designed to shift between a compressed configuration having a compressed diameter and an expanded configuration having an expanded diameter. The method may also include compressing the implantable medical device to an intermediate diameter between the compressed diameter and the expanded diameter and applying inflation pressure to the balloon so that at least a portion of the balloon extends at least partially into at least one of the plurality of openings in the implantable medical device. |

1. A method for preparing a medical device, the method comprising:
disposing an implantable medical device along an outer surface of a balloon; wherein the implantable medical device includes a polymeric stent having a plurality of openings formed therein; wherein the implantable medical device is designed to shift between a compressed configuration having a compressed diameter and an expanded configuration having an expanded diameter; compressing the implantable medical device to an intermediate diameter between the compressed diameter and the expanded diameter; and applying inflation pressure to the balloon so that at least a portion of the balloon extends at least partially into at least one of the plurality of openings in the implantable medical device. |
