Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
The current invention is directed to a method of protecting UV or visible light sensitive drugs from the effects of UV or visible radiation used to form covalent bonds between a biobeneficial material and the outermost surface of an implantable medical device in order to lessen the foreign body response to the device.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed: 1. A method, comprising: providing an implantable medical device comprising a device body; optionally disposing a primer layer over an exposed surface of the device body; disposing a drug reservoir layer over an exposed surface of the device body or, if opted for, over the primer layer, wherein: the drug reservoir layer comprises: a first polymer that includes at least one constitutional unit having a carbon-hydrogen bond capable of radical formation, a…
