Drug delivery via conformal film

摘要

A method is provided for producing an implantable drug-deliverable suture ring. The method comprises:
providing an implantable suture ring,
coating the suture ring with an in vivo biocompatible and biodegradable or bioabsorbable or bioerodable liquid or gel solution containing a polymer, the solution comprising an amount of one or more predetermined drugs, and
converting the liquid or gel solution to a film adhering to the suture ring thereby forming the implantable drug-deliverable medical device. The suture ring is unexpanding and the film contains a hydrogel.
