Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
Drug loading of polymeric materials can be adjusted by selection of materials and/or adjusting processing steps in formation of an implantable drug-loaded device.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A method of forming an implantable medical device, comprising: forming an elastomeric polymeric material into a shape of the implantable medical device; applying a solvent to the polymeric material so as to load the polymeric material with a therapeutic agent; and subjecting the polymeric material to a post-curing process including vulcanizing the polymeric material after applying the solvent to the polymeric material, wherein the post-curing process alt…
