Abstract
Provided herein is a prohealing piezoelectric coating and the method of making and using the same.
Claims27
A coating on an implantable medical device comprising at least one polarized piezoelectric polymer or material.
A method of generating piezoelectric polarization in a coating on an implantable device, comprising:
- forming the coating comprising a piezoelectric polymer(s) or material(s) onto the implantable device,
- providing solvent vapor to the coating,
- subjecting the coating to high electric voltage to generate polarization of the piezoelectric polymer(s) or material(s), and
- removing the solvent vapor from the coating and causing the coating to dry, thereby fixing the polarization of the piezoelectric polymer(s) or material(s) in the coating.
