Lipid coating for medical devices delivering bioactive agent

This is a medical device, like a stent or balloon, that can expand and collapse. It's coated with a drug, which is then covered by a special lipid (fat) layer. This fat layer is designed to melt only inside the body, releasing the drug precisely where it's needed. The claims narrow this lipid layer to specifically contain two fatty acids.

Why it matters: Since 2011, advancements in lipid chemistry and biocompatible coating techniques have improved the precision and control over fatty acid formulations and their melting points for medical device applications.

Status: Not in forceListed as no longer active. The specific reason is not in the record we hold.
How hard to build: SpecializedBiocompatible coatings, medical device manufacturing
