Medicinal implants, e.g. stents, with a functionalized surface, obtained by activating a carbon-containing coating to provide porosity then functionalizing, useful e.g. for controlled drug release

摘要

New medicinal implants with a functionalized surface are obtained by: (a) providing a medicinal implant having at least one carbon-containing layer (I) over at least part of the surface; (b) activating (I) to provide porosity; and (c) functionalizing the activated (I).
