A medical device for delivering a biologically active material into a body tissue, comprising struts and optionally the biologically active material. In an embodiment, the medical device comprises non-structural elements integral with the struts. A method for designing such medical device are also disclosed. Another embodiment is a medical device having an outer surface comprising a middle section and end sections. The end sections have a greater available surface area, greater affinity for or a greater amount of the biologically active material per unit length of the outer surface than the middle section. The middle section may be covered with a barrier layer. Another embodiment is a medical device comprising a rectangular portion having a greater capacity for carrying a biologically active material per unit length of the outer surface. A method for delivering a biologically active material to a body tissue is also disclosed.
一种用于向人体组织输送
生物活性材料的医疗设备,包括支杆和
生物活性材料。在一个实施方案中,该医疗器械包括与支杆一体的非结构元件。此外,还公开了设计此类医疗设备的方法。另一个实施方案是一种医疗设备,其外表面包括中间部分和端部。与中间部分相比,末端部分的可用表面积更大,与
生物活性材料的亲和力更强,或外表面单位长度上的
生物活性材料量更大。中间部分可覆盖隔离层。另一个实施方案是一种医疗器械,包括矩形部分,其外表面每单位长度具有更大的
生物活性材料承载能力。还公开了一种向身体组织输送
生物活性材料的方法。
