Abstract
Endoprosthesis assemblies and methods of making endoprosthesis assemblies are disclosed. For example, endoprosthesis assemblies are described that include an endoprosthesis body and a polymeric coating about the endoprosthesis body. The polymeric coatings are engaged tightly to the endoprosthesis wall through engageable features created on the surface of the polymeric coatings and the surface of the endoprosthesis wall prior to engaging the surfaces.
Claims25
A method of making an implantable medical device assembly, comprising:
- providing a first member having a surface defining a plurality of first engageable features;
- providing a second member comprising a polymer material having a surface defining a plurality of second engageable features;
- pressing the first member with the second member in a manner that first features frictionally engage with second features to provide an assembly;
- and
- delivering the assembly into the body.

An implantable medical device assembly, comprising:
- a first preformed layer having a surface defining a plurality of first engageable features;
- a second preformed layer having a surface defining a plurality of second engageable features;
- and
- an interface between the first and second layer in which the first features frictionally engage with the second features to form said assembly.
