Abstract
In order to provide a vascular stent, with which the risk of restenosis is reduced without having to use anti-proliferative active substances, there is proposed a carrier of a dimensionally stable material, as well as one or more layers, which are disposed at least in sections on the carrier, of a material based on crosslinked gelatin that is resorbable under physiological conditions, wherein the adhesion between the carrier and the layer and/or between individual layers can be neutralised.
Claims24
A vascular stent, comprising a carrier of a dimensionally stable material, as well as a plurality of layers, which are disposed at least in sections on the carrier, of a material comprising crosslinked gelatin that is resorbable under physiological conditions, wherein the average degree of crosslinking of the gelatin in the individual layers increases in the direction of the layer adjacent to the carrier, and wherein the layers are detachable individually.
