Medical device having coating with zeolite drug reservoirs

摘要: A medical device having a drug-eluting coating that includes pharmaceutical compound or, more generally, therapeutic material housed within pores of zeolite carrier. The carrier has an open porous structure with reservoirs for holding the material. loaded zeolites may be suspended or dispersed bioerodible polymer matrix to provide controlled delivery Zeolite drug carriers have enhanced optimally engineered pore sizes particular and release profile. Along material, system include agent. agent used entrap until such time as triggering condition is met prompts activate thereby from reservoir.
