ABSTRACT:
Various embodiments of methods and devices for coating stents are described herein. Among these embodiments are methods of manufacturing an implantable medical device by purifying a polymer with a fluid capable of swelling the polymer, and subsequently coating a device with the purified polymer or fabricating a device from the purified polymer. A preferred polymer is poly(vinylidene fluoride-co-hexafluoropropylene).
