Implantable implantable medical device for wettability and antibacterial properties and method for manufacturing the same

摘要

The present invention relates generally to the materials and methods for improving the wettability of an implantable medical device. More specifically, the invention relates to devices and methods for coating at least a portion of a medical device to improve wettability and reduce electrical impedance. Given the challenges of maintaining consistent and predictable electrical characteristics as implantable medical devices become smaller in size, there remains a continual need to improve wettability in an effort to improve medical outcomes.
