Abstract

A medical device, in particular a stent, having a self-expandable mesh structure, which is at least partially tubular and is able to widen automatically from a compressed cross-sectional diameter to an expanded cross-sectional diameter, wherein the mesh structure has at least one mesh structure element which is encased, in particular in its entirety, by a nanostructure coating formed of fibrin nanofibers, wherein the nanostructure coating has a first layer, which forms an in particular felt-like or fleece-like matrix of crosslinked fibrin fibers, wherein some fibrin fibers protrude freely above the first layer, and a second layer of an in particular nap-like single-fiber structure, and wherein the nanostructure coating additionally contains a growth factor or a peptide having the functional structure of a growth factor, which growth factor or peptide is integrated in the first layer and/or the second layer.
