SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR FABRICATING SPIRAL COILS WITH ATOMIZED BIOACTIVE COATINGS

摘要

Systems and methods for coating of spiral intracranial aneurysm coils, e.g., a Guglielmi Detachable Coil (GDC), such that only selected surfaces along the spiral coil are coated with a polymer via an atomized polymer deposition process. The resulting device is a detachable aneurysm coil system which preserves the mechanical geometry and flexibility of the coil, and delivers specific agents to promote wound healing.
