ABSTRACT:
An apparatus and method is provided for forming coatings on stents. The apparatus includes a temperature adjusting element that can increase or decrease the temperature of the stent. The apparatus can support a stent during the application of a coating composition to the stent. The apparatus can include a mandrel to support a stent and a temperature element integrated with the mandrel to adjust the temperature of the mandrel. The temperature element can include a heating coil or a heating pin, for example, disposed in the mandrel.
