Abstract: A systems and method for reducing coating defects on a stent may involve a support apparatus comprising wire cage for carrying a stent. The support apparatus may have no structure that extends inside the stent. A support apparatus may include a plurality of wires that pass through the stent but do not pass through the midplane of the stent. A support apparatus may contact only the proximal ends of the stent. The method may involve keeping the stent in motion during a spray coating process to prevent the stent from having a point remain in continuous contact with a support apparatus.

Abstract: A coating solution that contains 10 to 20% by weight of epoxy resin serving as a thermosetting resin, 20 to 30% by weight of MoS2, and 5 to 10% by weight of graphite, with a remainder thereof constituted by an organic solvent, is sprayed onto a wrap portion side face of an orbiting scroll from a spray nozzle . While spraying the coating solution, the orbiting scroll is rotated on a rotating table and the spray nozzle is moved along a rectilinear movement path toward a radial direction outer side of the orbiting scroll while maintaining an attitude thereof from the start of the spraying process. After applying the coating solution, the coating solution is dried by baking, whereupon a break-in operation is performed. As a result, an elastic coating is formed at a coating thickness that enables elastic deformation in accordance with a clearance between the wrap portion side faces.

Abstract: A system and method allows for processing of two groups of medical devices, both groups being alternatingly spray coated within the same enclosure. The two groups repeatedly move back and forth between a spray area and a drying area which is isolated from the spray area. One group moves into the spray area as the other group moves out and into the drying area. Thereafter, the group in the spray area moves out and into the drying area and the other group moves back into the spraying area for a second coating. The alternating process may be repeated any number of times. The spray area may be located inside a sealed spray isolator enclosure and surrounded by gas discharge nozzles.

Abstract: In a method for forming an electrolyte film on an electrode surface, the liquid electrolyte is sprayed into a cavity to form an electrolyte mist; the electrolyte mist exits the cavity through an opening and then flows across the electrode surface, which is directed downward at an angle behind the opening, whereby an electrolyte film is formed on the electrode surface and wherein the thickness of the electrolyte film is set by means of the angle of inclination of the electrode surface. A corresponding device includes an electrolyte tank communicating with a mist chamber for accommodating sprayed electrolyte by means of a spraying apparatus, wherein the mist chamber comprises a mist outlet. Furthermore, a retainer for fixing the electrode surface at a specifiable angle of inclination is provided, so that electrolyte mist, which can exit through the mist outlet, flows across the electrode surface to form an electrolyte film.
