Abstract:
1. A medical article comprising a coating disposed on at least a portion of an implantable medical device, the coating comprising: (a) a fluorinated polymer; and (b) a biologically beneficial polymer; wherein the fluorinated polymer is selected from the group consisting of: (i) products of polymerization of fluorinated olefins; (ii) fluorine-containing cyclic polymers having a main chain with an asymmetrical cyclic structure selected from a group consisting of polymers of repeating units of cyclically polymerized perfluorallyl vinyl ether, perfluorobutenyl vinyl ether, and a combination thereof; and (iii) copolymers of perfluoro-2,2-dimethyl-1,3-dioxole with perfluoroolefins or with perfluoro(alkyl vinyl)ethers; wherein the biologically beneficial polymer is selected from the group consisting of poly(ester amide) polymers of a general formula and wherein the biologically beneficial polymer is conjugated to a biologically active agent.
