Abstract (en)

[origin: WO0136008A2] The invention includes a medical device with a surface covering and coating that provides the device with desirable surface characteristics while optionally altering the surface area of the device, such that in the case of reusable devices they are easier to clean, and in the case of such devices as stents, the covering and coating provides a permanently adherent sheath resulting in an increased surface area. Optionally, the covering and coating is used as a drug reservoir for delivery of drug to specific locations.
