A method is provided for coating at least a portion of at least one medical device. The method includes arranging a polymer on the portion of the medical device, arranging a bioactive agent on the portion of the medical device, and spraying, subsequent to the arranging of the polymer and the arranging of the bioactive agent, a solvent on the portion of the medical device. The method may further include selecting a composition of the solvent to achieve a desired agent release response profile for the medical device. A medical appliance is provided having a coating applied by a method that includes arranging a polymer on the portion of the medical device, arranging a bioactive agent on the portion of the medical device, and subsequently spraying a solvent on the portion of the medical device. A method is provided for achieving a desired agent release response profile for a medical device by reflowing the coating with a solvent. |
