Biodegradable implants sized and suitable for implantation in an ocular region or site and methods for treating ocular conditions. The implants provide an extended release of an active agent at a therapeutically effective amount for a period of time between 50 days and one year, or longer.

Extended release biodegradable ocular implants

The present invention provides a semi-crystalline polymer for a coating on an implantable device for controlling release of drug and methods of making and using the same.

Bioabsorbable semi-crystalline polymer for controlling release of drug from a coating

Methods for making coatings on an implantable device, such as a drug-eluting stent. The coatings comprise a polymer and a drug in a crystalline or partially crystalline form. In addition, implantable devices produced by the methods and methods of using the coated implantable devices are described.

Methods of forming coatings with a crystalline or partially crystalline drug for implantable medical devices

Methods for making coatings on an implantable device such as a drug-eluting stent comprising a polymer and nano or microparticles of a drug in slow-dissolving polymorph, implantable devices produced by the methods and methods of using the coatings are provided.

Polyethylene glycol/poly(butylene terephthalate) copolymer coated devices including EVEROLIMUS

Various embodiments of methods and devices for coating stents are described herein. Among these embodiments are methods of manufacturing an implantable medical device by purifying a polymer with a fluid capable of swelling the polymer, and subsequently coating a device with the purified polymer or fabricating a device from the purified polymer. A preferred polymer is poly(vinylidene fluoride-co-hexafluoropropylene).
