Coated stent

A coated stent (20) for use in a medical procedure and methods of manufacturing the coated stent (20) are described. A stent component (30) has an expanded state in which an inner diameter (ds) of the stent (30) is less than or equal to an outer diameter (dc2) of a coating (40), thereby causing an i...

Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	A coated stent (20) for use in a medical procedure and methods of manufacturing the coated stent (20) are described. A stent component (30) has an expanded state in which an inner diameter (ds) of the stent (30) is less than or equal to an outer diameter (dc2) of a coating (40), thereby causing an inner surface (35) of the stent (30) to engage the outer surface (42) of the coating (40). In one exemplary method of manufacture, the stent (30) is disposed over the coating (40) when the coating (40) is provided with a first, smaller outer diameter (dc1). The coating (40) then is radially expanded to a second, larger outer diameter (dC2), which is greater than or equal to the inner diameter (ds) of the stent (30), to cause the outer surface (42) of the coating (40) to engage the inner surface (35) of the stent (30).
