Abstract
An endoprosthesis, in particular an intraluminal endoprosthesis, for example a stent, having a basic mesh composed of an at least predominantly biodegradable material, and a coating provided on the biodegradable material is proposed. For better control of the degradation the basic mesh is essentially completely covered by a coating which contains parylene, preferably at least predominantly parylene, particularly preferably parylene C or parylene N, and the basic mesh is essentially completely covered by the coating, whereby the thickness of the coating is between approximately 0.1 μm and approximately 10 μm, preferably between approximately 0.4 μm and approximately 7 μm, particularly preferably between approximately 1 μm and approximately 5 μm. Also proposed is a method for manufacturing such an endoprosthesis.
