Devices for the provision of a coating on an implantable medical device are provided. The coating includes a bio-absorbable carrier component. In addition to the bio-absorbable carrier component, a therapeutic agent component can also be provided. The devices provide a coating having improved uniformity and coverage which in turn allow for greater control of the amount and dosage of the coating.
