Embodiments of the invention include apparatus and methods for coating drug eluting medical devices. In an embodiment, the invention includes a coating apparatus including a coating application unit comprising a movement restriction structure; a fluid applicator; and an air nozzle. The apparatus can further include a rotation mechanism and an axial motion mechanism, the axial motion mechanism configured to cause movement of at least one of the coating application unit and the rotation mechanism with respect to one another. Other embodiments are also included herein.
a coating application unit comprising
a movement restriction structure;
a fluid applicator;
an air nozzle; and
a rotation mechanism; and
an axial motion mechanism, the axial motion mechanism configured to cause movement of at least one of the coating application unit and the rotation mechanism with respect to one another,
the movement restriction structure comprising a first body member and a second body member, the first body member defining a first portion of a channel and the second body member defining a second portion of a channel, the first body member and second body member configured to rotate between a closed position where a balloon is locked in place in the channel and an open position where the balloon is released.
2. The coating apparatus of claim 1, further comprising a fluid reservoir in fluid communication with the fluid applicator.
3. The coating apparatus of claim 1, further comprising a fluid pump in fluid communication with the fluid reservoir and the fluid applicator.
4. The coating apparatus of claim 1, the fluid applicator comprising a shaft including a curved portion and an orifice, wherein the curved portion of the shaft is disposed between the orifice and the distal end of the shaft.
5. The coating apparatus of claim 1, the coating application unit further comprising a fluid distribution bar.
6. The coating apparatus of claim 1, wherein the movement restriction structure prevents lateral movement of the balloon as it is being rotated by the rotation mechanism.
7. The coating apparatus of claim 1, the movement restriction structure defining a channel surrounding the balloon.
8. The coating apparatus of claim 1, the movement restriction structure defining a channel having a size sufficient to surround the balloon when the balloon is in an expanded state.
9. The coating apparatus of claim 1, the movement restriction structure defining a channel surrounded by the movement restriction structure in a radially continuous manner.
10. The coating apparatus of claim 1, the movement restriction structure defining a channel surrounded by the movement restriction structure in a radially non-continuous manner.
11. The coating apparatus of claim 1, the first body member defining a first portion of a channel and the second body member defining a second portion of a channel, the first body member and second body member separated from one another by a distance of at least 3 millimeters.
12. The coating apparatus of claim 1, wherein the first body member and second body member rotate together around a single axis.
13. The coating apparatus of claim 1, wherein the first body member and second body member rotate independently from one another.
14. The coating apparatus of claim 1, wherein the axial motion mechanism creates horizontal motion.
15. The coating apparatus of claim 1, wherein the axial motion mechanism creates vertical motion.
16. A coating apparatus comprising:
the movement restriction structure comprising a first body member comprising a curved segment and an end, the curved segment defining a portion of a channel, the first body member further comprising an alignment lip adjacent the end, the alignment lip comprising a surface that is angled away from the channel defined by the curved segment.
This application claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional Application No. 61/654,403, filed Jun. 1, 2012 and U.S. Provisional Application No. 61/661,684, filed Jun. 19, 2012 the contents of which are herein incorporated by reference.
