<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an implantable device formed of a polymer mixture. <P>SOLUTION: A biocompatible material can be formed into various implantable medical devices including an intraluminal stents. Such various devices including the stent can be formed by using a polymeric material. The stent may be balloon expandable or self-expanding. The polymeric material may include additives such as drugs or other bioactive agents as well as radiopaque agents. Because of the preferential mechanical deformation of the polymer, the polymer chain is oriented and specific desired performance characteristics can be obtained. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2007,JPO&INPIT |
