Abstract: The present invention is a method and device, which is suitable for use in an operating theater just prior to implantation, for selectively applying a medical coating to an implantable medical device, for example a stent. Disclosed is a device for use with a stent deployed on a catheter balloon. The device is configured to apply a medical coating of a desired thickness to the surface of a stent only. This is done by use of a drop-on-demand ink-jet printing system in association with an optical scanning device. The device is further configured so as to, if necessary, apply a plurality of layered coats, each layered coat being of a different coating material, and if appropriate, different thickness. The section of the housing in which the stent is held during the coating procedure is detachable from the housing base. The detachable housing section may be easily cleaned and re-sterilized or simply disposed of.

Abstract translation: 本发明是适于在植入之前适用于手术室中的方法和装置，用于选择性地将医用涂层施加到可植入医疗装置，例如支架上。 公开了一种与部署在导管气囊上的支架一起使用的装置。 该装置被配置成将仅具有所需厚度的医用涂层施加到支架的表面。 这通过使用与光学扫描装置相关联的按需喷墨打印系统来完成。 该装置进一步构造成如果需要，施加多个分层涂层，每个分层涂层是不同的涂层材料，并且如果适当，则具有不同的厚度。 支架在涂覆过程中保持的壳体的部分可从壳体基座拆卸。 可拆卸的壳体部分可以容易地清洁和重新灭菌或简单地处理。
