Abstract: Polymeric tubing having an outer surface with a reduced coefficient of friction. The outer surface is treated by an exposure to a plasma glow discharge in the presence of an inert gas, and by deposition of a monomer during exposure to the plasma glow discharge for a time sufficient to modify the slip characteristics of the surface of the tube. The tube is preferably exposed to plasma glow discharge for a time sufficient to reduce the coefficient of friction by at least 70%. The tubing may be fabricated of silicone rubber, and the monomer deposited may be N-vinyl-2-pyrrolidone.

Abstract: An anti-microbial component of the IMD that is exposed to body fluids in the pocket is compounded of an anti-microbial metal ion zeolite that elutes meta l ions in concentrations exhibiting anti-microbial activity over a substantial period of time of implantation is disclosed. The anti-microbial component is physically attached to the IMD to be retained in close proximity and in a stable location in the subcutaneous pocket. In another embodiment, the anti- microbial component conforms to the shape of the IMD and is attachable to an d detachable from the IMD. In another embodiment, the polymeric component includes a connector header of an IPG or a monitor, or a connector sleeve or the sealing rings of a proximal connector assembly of an electrical medical lead coupled with an IPG or monitor that are located in the subcutaneous pocket or in the backing of a subcutaneously implanted cardioversion/defibrillation (C/D) electrode.

Abstract: Modification of the antifriction properties of a primary polymer surface comprises placing the surface in a glow discharge zone containing an inert gas plasma and then in a plasma coating zone in which monomer is deposited and polymerised. Independent claims are also included: (a) for a variant of the process, in which inert gas is introduced into the inert gas plasma zone and monomer into the plasma coating zone; (b) modified polymer tubing; and (c) the equipment used.
