In an intraluminal medical device having (at least locally) a hydrophilic zone (HZ) of first hydrophilic material (HM1) showing a low coefficient of friction when treated with a wetting agent (WA) before use of the device, HZ in the dry state includes a second hydrophilic material (HM2) for retaining WA in HZ, reducing evaporation of WA into the atmosphere and/or preventing WA from flowing (like water) in the treated zone. <??>Independent claims are included for: <??>(1) a combination of a device as above (specifically a probe) and a casing in which the wetted, impregnated device is stored; and <??>(2) a method for preparing the device in the casing, including formation of the HZ including HM2 (as well as HM1) and sterilization with gas via a gas-permeable wall of the casing. |
