A METHOD FOR APPLYING A COATING TO A MEDICAL DEVICE

摘要

A method for applying a coating material, the method comprising; providing a prosthesis having a pattern of identifiable features; pre-scanning substantially an entire surface area of said prosthesis prior to applying the coating material to identify said identifiable features and to obtain coating coordinates for said identified features; and applying the coating material to a surface of the prosthesis at substantially each of said coating coordinates by moving a coating material applicator relative to the prosthesis, wherein the movement of the coating material applicator relative to the prosthesis does not substantially follow along any portion of the pattern of identifiable features.
