Abstract
A vascular device for insertion in a body lumen, wherein the device includes a surface including at least a portion that is a functionalized surface provided with double or more charged ions such that the ions are exposed to a bodily fluid when the vascular device is inserted in the body lumen. The vascular device allows for reducing complications in its use and, particularly, for improving a desired healing in the body and preventing restenosis. At the same time, it allows for being manufactured at comparably low effort and for a convenient handling.

A method of manufacturing a vascular device for insertion in a body lumen, the method comprising
- obtaining a vascular device with a surface;
- preparing at least a portion of the surface of the vascular device;
- and
- providing double or more charged ions to the at least a portion of the surface such that the at least a portion of the surface is functionalized.

A method of using a vascular device, wherein the device comprises a surface comprising at least a portion that is a functionalized surface provided with double or more charged ions such that the ions are exposed to a bodily fluid when the vascular device is inserted in the body lumen, the method comprising:
- making the vascular device ready for implantation by a pre-implantation preparation, and implanting the made ready vascular device, wherein the pre-implantation preparation comprises flushing the vascular device with a bodily fluid or with a simulated bodily fluid;
- or
- making the vascular device ready for implantation by a pre-implantation preparation, and implanting the made ready vascular device, wherein the pre-implantation preparation comprises flushing the vascular device with a fluid preserving the surface properties of the vascular device;
- or
- implanting the vascular device, wherein flushing, the vascular device prior to implantation is excluded.
